Among all the countries where we work, Uganda holds a special place. It is where Goutte d'Espoir builds the most wells, by far. This repeated experience has let us refine our methods, shorten lead times and offer the most accessible price in our catalogue.
A contained price and a short lead time
Funding a well in Uganda costs 350 EUR, with a lead time of 3 to 5 weeks. It is our fastest and most affordable offer. For comparison, a well in India costs 365 EUR, in Sri Lanka 370 EUR, in Cambodia 400 EUR, all with a lead time of 4 to 6 months. Niger and Togo, more demanding logistically, are at 1050 EUR and 1100 EUR respectively, also over 4 to 6 months.
If Uganda is faster and cheaper, it is no accident: we have solid teams and reference points there, which shortens the time between your order and the water flowing. When you want a concrete impact without waiting months, it is often the most efficient choice.
What your order funds
By placing an order, you are buying a complete construction and monitoring service. The price covers each stage, from the first scouting to the handover of proof.
- Scouting the village and assessing the real need.
- The permits needed from local contacts.
- Drilling down to the water table.
- The concrete slab and its drainage channels.
- The installation of a sturdy hand pump.
- Commissioning and photo and video documentation.
One water point, a whole village
A well serves about 40 people daily and can benefit close to 400 people over time. In the villages where we work, that means children drinking clean water, women no longer walking for hours to fill a jerrycan, and far less strain on the health of the whole community.
Proof, every time
On delivery, you receive photos and videos of the completed site, and a plaque is placed with the name you choose, or anonymously. You see the real structure and its location. This traceability is not optional: it is how we work, so you know precisely what your money made possible.
Three to five weeks to turn an order into clean water: that is what Uganda makes possible.
If you are unsure which country to start with, Uganda is an excellent starting point: fast, accessible and proven. Choose this country, tell us the name to engrave, and we start the site work. Fund your first well in Uganda for 350 EUR today.
