Making verifiable what no one can go and see
You fund a project 6,000 km away. Our job is to bring you the evidence of it, not just the promise.
What we do
Goutte d'Espoir funds and has drinking-water wells built. You choose the country and the name the well will carry; we take care of surveying, logistics, permits, materials, labour and on-site follow-up.
What we do not do
We are not an association. Goutte d'Espoir is a local business: we sell a construction and photographic-follow-up service.
We never publish an illustrative photo in place of evidence. If a well has not yet been photographed, it has no photo.
Our commitments
- Full transparency. Every project shows its budget, its goal and its progress in real time.
- Concrete impact. A well means thousands of litres of drinking water, every day, for years.
- Human commitment. Behind every project there is a community, a village, lives.
What the price of your well covers
A well is far more than a borehole. Behind every one of them are teams, equipment, travel, coordination, follow-up and a whole organisation that turns your order into a real project on the ground.
The detail, step by stepSurveying the village and studying the ground
Before the machines even arrive, work is done upstream to identify the areas where the need for water is real and to determine the best place to drill.
The drilling, the equipment and the materials
Building a well takes serious technical means.
The teams who make each project possible
Behind every well there are women and men.
Transport and the whole logistics chain
It is one of the least visible parts of a project, and one of the most important.
Following the work and the evidence it produces
Our commitment does not stop at construction.
The organisation behind every well
A site you can see on the ground rests on an organisation that is far less visible.
The three stages of a project
- 01
Fund a well
You choose the country to act in, among several areas affected by a lack of access to water. Each well serves a whole community: around 40 people day to day, up to 400 beneficiaries depending on local needs.
- 02
Carrying out the project
Once your contribution is confirmed, we work with our partners on the ground to identify the village most in need in the country you chose. Work then begins: drilling, construction, commissioning, in line with local standards.
- 03
Tracking and transparency
When the work is finished, you receive photos and videos of each stage: the drilling, the construction and the commissioning. The well carries the name you chose. You may also remain anonymous.
