Stronger Communities
The Digicel Foundation collaborates with local organizations and communities to support and finance sustainable development initiatives.
In Haiti, there is an adage which goes “men anpil chay pa lou" – it means that where there are many hands, the burden is little. With this meaningful proverb in mind, Digicel Foundation recognizes how vital it is to work in concert with local communities to accompany community members towards a better life.
Upon opening its doors in 2007, the Foundation embarked on a mission to assist in the development of these communities. Not long after, both Digicel and the Digicel Foundation began serving thousands of families who lost everything in the floods of Gonaives. From there, the Digicel Foundation began making substantial impressions across Haiti.
Over the last 19 years, more than one million people have been touched by the Foundation’s social investments in diverse projects impacting various sectors including: education and capacity building, special needs, human rights, the environment, water accessibility, sanitation, agriculture, and technology. Because of our partners’ remarkable efforts, adults have learned how to read, Special Olympic athletes earned many medals center stage at the World Games, hundreds of lives were spared from cholera, and thousands of youth gained access to development programs.
The Digicel Foundation Grants Program has already invested in more than 400 projects. With its longstanding partners, and new partners it meets along the way, the Foundation hopes to deliver many more life-changing projects, while bringing countless hands together to lessen life’s burden for the most vulnerable populations.
On April 1, 2026, the Digicel Foundation proudly launched the 10th edition of its Konbit Pou Chanjman campaign.
This milestone edition carries special significance, as it will award ten local organizations with grants of USD 12,000 each, while also funding a flagship project valued at 10,000,000 gourdes to support the implementation of a community initiative in one of the country’s ten departments.
Organizations interested in bringing impactful projects to life are invited to apply for funding in the following areas: education, culture, inclusion, access, livelihoods, and the environment.
The project submission deadline was May 15, 2026, and the evaluation process has now been completed.
