Marking a full decade of impact-driven community work through the Konbit pou Chanjman development campaign, the Digicel Foundation has launched its 2026 edition of the project grant program, a funding initiative designed to uplift local community-led work across Haiti. This year, the foundation has committed to awarding $12,000 in financing to 10 selected community-led projects, all submitted by registered non-profit organizations across the country’s 10 regional departments.
In a public announcement released on 7 January 2026, the foundation confirmed that 45 local organizations across Haiti have successfully qualified for the program’s second phase of evaluation. The shortlisted groups represent every major administrative region of the country, spanning Artibonite, Centre, Grand’Anse, Nippes, North, North-East, Northwest, West, South, and South-East.
The 45 advancing organizations bring a diverse range of community priorities to the program, with initiatives focused on agricultural innovation, women’s economic empowerment, child rights advocacy, youth development, food security, public health access, education infrastructure, and poverty reduction. Regional representation includes four organizations from Artibonite, three from the Centre department, five from Grand’Anse, five from Nippes, five from the North department, four from North-East, four from Northwest, three from the West department, five from the South, and four from South-East.
Final selection of the 10 winning projects will wrap up in the coming months, with all organizations that advance to the final stage of the competition scheduled to receive official notification of their funding status by August 2026. The program reflects the Digicel Foundation’s longstanding commitment to strengthening local Haitian civil society and investing in community-led solutions to the country’s most pressing social and economic challenges, aligned with the 10-year mission of the Konbit pou Chanjman campaign.
