Janji

Janji is an independent athletic and running apparel company based in Boston, Massachusetts, founded in 2012 by David Spandorfer and Michael Burnstein. The name "Janji," meaning "promise" in Malay, reflects the company's mission to expand access to clean water worldwide through socially responsible practices.

Janji designs functional and stylish running apparel inspired by the cultures and flags of various countries. Each product line supports clean water initiatives, with purchases directly contributing to water-related charities. For instance, buying Tanzania-themed shorts helps provide a year of clean water to a family in Tanzania. The company donates 2% of all proceeds to nonprofit partners focused on global clean water access and has committed 100% of its Janji Collective membership fees to U.S.-based nonprofits addressing environmental injustice and water access.

Janji emphasizes ethical manufacturing, primarily in WRAP Gold certified factories in Vietnam, using bluesign® certified fabrics. The company collaborates with local artists to incorporate global creativity into its designs, supporting emerging artistic communities in the regions it highlights.
