It feels like so
long ago when the Digicel Foundation’s Patron and Chair, Denis O’Brien,
came to Haiti to celebrate a first of many accomplishments, the
inauguration of a school constructed in Thomazeau. Never forgetting the
gracious welcome and generosity of the people of Haiti, a commitment was
made—to join forces with likeminded local leaders and organizations to strengthen efforts
in building a resilient Haiti. For 11 years, the Digicel Foundation has
dedicated its resources to serve the most marginalized
communities and to address numerous pressing issues.Committed
to the vision of transforming lives both through sensible corporate
responsibility and community development, the Digicel
Foundation began a journey in accomplishing an unprecedented record of
objectives, surpassing any other corporate charitable organization in
Haiti.
Today,
approximately 1.2 million men, women and children have benefitted from upwards
of 171 community projects. More than 60,000 students have access to quality
learning spaces at what will soon be 178 schools built by the Foundation.
Furthermore, 2,000+ schools directors and teachers have received professional
development in improving the quality of education in primary schools.
The determination
and drive of the Haitian people, without a doubt, have always served as the Foundation’s inspiration to stay the course
in becoming a pioneer and leader in community development. Through the
first 10 years, the Digicel Foundation embodied a key value to stand behind
communities to change lives.
Thus, the Digicel Foundation is pleased to
present the second edition of Konbit Pou Chanjman (Come
Together for Change) campaign, its newest undertaking to promote more
sustainable communities. The initiative seeks to award 15 organizations,
700,000 gourdes each to implement a proposed community project in one of the 10
departments in Haiti.
Organizations which seek to fulfill a
project in their community were invited to apply for a grant in the following
areas: education, culture, inclusion, livelihoods, access, and disaster
prevention.
The application deadline was August 8th,
2018 and was postponed to August 31st, 2018.

2018 instead of September 12th as originally planned.
