Where Digicel grows, so too must the communities in which we operate. We are able to fulfil this goal through our Community Development portfolio. This portfolio includes two programmes: our small grants, which fall under the Build Jamaica programme, and our micro-grants under the Mek A Muckle programme. These grants are issued to community-based groups to tackle the most pertinent issues impacting people locally while creating positive change in Jamaica’s most vulnerable communities. Through the years, we’ve sponsored projects which focus on youth development, skills training, agriculture and social enterprise. Our grantees have used the funding to establish farm projects and social enterprises – creating over 2,798 jobs for local workers.
