DloCo was founded in 2022 with the express goal of building and operating municipal scale water systems in Haiti's Grand South.  In 2024, DloCo received 501(c)(3) charity status from the IRS.  Our goal is to grow into and operate like the municipal water companies found across the USA.

In October 2023, in an effort to maximize the impact of our limited funds and demonstrate our ability to get work done despite the civil war, DloCo began exploring the idea of rehabilitating preexisting infrastructure.  

A well in Chambellan was identified that had a functional lower subsystem but needed a new head unit.  An initial technical assessment was conducted in early June 2024.  The head unit was replaced on July 6, 2024.  The rehabilitation was fully completed on August 25, 2024.  The total cost for the rehabilitation of the well was $610.

We are seeking to raise $1,100 to rehabilitate another defunct well in Marfranc.  Although we expect the rehabilitation to cost less than $1,100, we also need funds for basic overhead expenses such as web-hosting fees, annual filing fees, and tax preparation fees.  DloCo has no paid employees and its Board of Directors donate their time.  

DloCo and the people of Haiti’s Department Grand Anse appreciate your support!

See the video above for a full depiction of our previous well rehabilitation project.  Once we reach our fundraising goal, we will replicate this project at a well site in Marfranc (the village just north of Chambellan and Moron).
