Who is behind Aidocean ?

The boat

We need a boat that is suitable for the high seas and can get as close to the coast as possible. For the first mission (2022) and the second mission (2023) we chose “the Golden Dawn” from our partner : Olgeta Foundation. This 24m boat allowed us to store all the necessary equipment and to have enough space for the whole crew.

In 2024, As we operate in Purari River delta, we need a shallow-draught barge. The M/V Silver Star, a 34m-long barge, will able us to reach the various villages. This is ideal for navigating up the meandering Purari River.

Discover Aidocean’s projects

Our goal is to carry out humanitarian missions with simplicity and maneuverbility as focal points. 
Thanks to their small size, our teams are able to be flexibile, adapting to changing circumstances and solving problems as they come up.
Our primary objective is to offer our help to the most in need, especially those situated in regions where larger NGOs cannot reach.
Thanks to the support of local authorities, we can integrate into our projects research, education, training, and prevention.
We also hope to inspire the public, students, entrepreneurs, and societal leaders. Everyone in their own way can help us meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.
