Janji (n. /john-jee/)
Janji in Malay language, primarily spoken in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore, simply means a promise or declaration. Since its conception, it's Janji’s promise to expand access to safe drinking water in the places they run around the world—hence the name.
Their Promise: Expand Access to Clean Water
In a world where 2.1 billion people don’t have access to clean water, the brand is passionate about ensuring access to this critical resource for communities worldwide.
To do this, Janji gives 2% of proceeds from every purchase to support clean water projects in the countries that inspire each of their season collections.
The Janji team visits the Manila Water Foundation team in Clark, Philippines. Their integrated WASH program (water access, sanitation, & hygiene education) is a comprehensive, inclusive, and sustainable approach that empowers communities to participate and own the process of water transformation.
The Phillippines
For the spring season of 2020, their partner is the Manila Water Foundation, a non-profit organization serving water-scarce regions across the Philippines, especially in areas adjacent to the mega-city of Manila. The Phillippines collection is informed by the brand’s running adventures and takes cues from the archipelagic beauty of the Philippines.
A neutral earth and sea palette (blues and teal colors) is punctuated by bursts of near-electric colors (orange and fuschia colors) and nature-inspired prints for super tropic vibes.
One of the standout prints you’ll notice is Midnight Plaid - riffing on the urban grid, the wildly colorful jeepney taxis found throughout the Philippines, and the Sampaguita flower, or Philippine Jasmine. The Midnight Plaid Print + H20 Vine Racer Graphic is a fresh spin on a heritage textile that makes an unexpected and vibrant run kit.
