The 1.2-litre PARGO bottle holds more so you can do more and comes with a sports bottle straw lid, perfect for all activities without the worry of spillage.
The double wall insulated drinkware is available in 10 vibrant colours including midnight black, BBQ charcoal, deep sea navy, eucalypt green, island turquoise, bay blue, love lilac, coral pink, desert sand and bone white.
However, Project PARGO is about more than just making stylish drinkware as it is dedicated to making a difference by working to provide access to clean water for those in need.
Every purchase supports this vital cause, turning everyday hydration into a powerful tool for global change, says founder Ellie McGovern.
“After years of living in some of the world’s most remote and impoverished villages, we have learned firsthand that clean water is essential for life and that not everyone has access to it,” she explains.
“We travel, teach and implement gravity-fed water filtration systems to people in serious need of an improved water source.”
Indeed, McGovern and co-founder Dylan Rowe dreamt of making a positive contribution that reached far beyond their home. The brand was conceived on the road, in the back of a camper where the simple things matter most.
PARGO, which is Spanish for red snapper, is well known around the world as one of the tastiest fish and inspired the duo’s venture.
“One day we got the invite to spearfish with the locals in a tiny village on the coast of El Salvador, soon after we speared one hell of a PARGO deep down in the reef. This thing was big enough to feed the village, so that’s what we did.
“At this moment, full of fish, we noticed none of the locals we ate with drank any water, not because they didn’t want to, but because the local water makes them too sick to live and the bottled water is too expensive for many to buy.”
From this day, McGovern and Rowe have committed their life building a business to help people gain access to clean water. Every PARGO sold helps a person in need.
“For us, it’s not just about selling drinkware; it’s about connecting with our customers on a deeper level. Every time someone purchases a PARGO, they’re not just getting a quality product—they’re contributing to something much bigger. They’re helping to change lives.”
Currently Project PARGO has helped over 55,000 people gain access to clean water through the implementation of the Sawyer 0.1 Micron gravity fed filtration system.
