Transforming Communities
We partner with civil society, international agencies, private and public sector to transform community spaces and create sustainable social change in Trinidad and Tobago.
Where Digicel grows, so too must the communities in which we operate.
Digicel Foundation continues to make an indelible mark in communities throughout Trinidad and Tobago. Our mandate encourages public-private sector partnerships and enables community-based organisations to implement sustainable social interventions.
Our grant programme; EPIC – (Extraordinary Projects Impacting Communities) was launched in 2016, and has benefitted over 140,000 persons in Trinidad and Tobago. To date, we have supported 160 EPIC projects in Trinidad and Tobago with an investment of US$1.3 million (TT$8.6 million).
At the Digicel Foundation, we invest in initiatives that support vulnerable women, marginalised groups and other underserved communities.
Our community development partnerships also include social entrepreneurs, media influencers, youth and organisations that support women who are survivors of domestic violence. The Digicel Foundation will continue to support social change interventions by empowering Non-Profit Organisation (NPOs) to develop projects that are community-oriented and people-driven
