We are big admirers of the critical work done by Project PARGO; and we support their awe-inspiring impact on rural or vulnerable global communities. Their dedication to providing clean water, health education, and sustainable solutions is awe-inspiring.
That’s why Billi has chosen to ethically source our new insulated bottles from Project PARGO to support their ongoing impact of international initiatives. Our shared commitment to sustainability and social responsibility drives this new collaboration. As our planet evolves, so too must our approach to managing the environmental impact. Together with Project PARGO, Billi aims to make a tangible difference; by choosing our products, you’re not only getting a high-quality, tested insulated bottle, but you’re also supporting a cause that matters. We’re proud to offer a cruelty-free alternative to those sourced from ethically questionable sweatshops.

Clean water access: A global crisis
Over 785 million people worldwide lack access to clean drinking water. This means they rely on contaminated sources such as wells, springs, and even surface water. This can lead to serious health problems, including diarrhoea, malaria, and cholera.
The danger of dirty water
Contaminated water has devastating consequences. It can cause death, especially among children, and hinders economic development. Women and girls are often burdened with the task of collecting water, limiting their opportunities for education and work.
The power of clean water
Access to clean water and sanitation has a ripple effect on communities. It improves health, reduces poverty, and empowers women and girls.
The need for action
While progress has been made so far, there is still much to be done. We made a conscious decision to ensure that everyone, including future generations, has access to clean water and sanitation.
Have a look at PARGO’s latest Clean Water Projects to see the positive impact for yourself. Get involved by purchasing your own Billi-branded insulated cup or bottle. Your cuppa can make a world of difference to someone – a percentage of each purchase directly contributes to clean water initiatives across the globe.
