Port-au-Prince, HAITI - Wednesday, May 10, 2023: The Digicel Foundation is calling on organizations interested in obtaining a $10,000 funding for the implementation of a community project and confirms that at least 15 organizations will benefit from it.

With 108 projects funded since the launch of its Konbit Pou Chanjman campaign in 2017, the Digicel Foundation is pleased to continue the initiative by encouraging institutions from all 10 departments to submit community projects by July 21, 2023.

In addition, the foundation provides tutorials on its YouTube page, explaining the steps to follow for easy platform usage. Physical forms are also available at Digicel stores in all ten departments. Once completed, these forms can be submitted at the same locations.
