As Digicel Haiti marks its 20th anniversary, we reflect on two decades of unwavering commitment and deep connection with the Haitian people. This milestone is not merely a celebration of our corporate presence but a testament to the enduring relationships we have built and the shared journey we have undertaken alongside Haitians through triumphs and tribulations.

Two decades carried by constant commitment, made possible above all thanks to the trust of our customers, partners and communities, and the constant dedication of our employees.

โ€” Jean-Philippe BrunCEO of Digicel Haiti, reflecting on the company's 20-year journey.

From our inception in 2006, Digicel Haiti's mission has been clear: to connect Haitians and unlock access to greater opportunities. This has extended beyond providing telecommunications services; it has involved becoming an integral part of the nation's fabric. We have stood with Haitians during moments of profound joy, celebrating culture, sports, and community events, and have been a steadfast presence during periods of immense hardship, including the devastating 2010 earthquake, successive hurricanes, and ongoing crises.

Since our launch in 2006, our mission has remained clear: to connect Haitians with each other and give them access to more opportunities.

โ€” Jean-Philippe BrunCEO of Digicel Haiti, stating the company's core mission.

Our engagement is further solidified through the Digicel Foundation, which actively invests in education and community projects. These initiatives are designed to foster hope and create tangible pathways for progress, particularly for the nation's youth. We believe that by empowering communities and supporting educational endeavors, we contribute to Haiti's resilience and long-term development.

But these 20 years are not just a story of network or technology; they are above all a story of relationships, resilience and real proximity.

โ€” Jean-Philippe BrunCEO of Digicel Haiti, emphasizing the human aspect of the company's operations.

While we acknowledge the significant challenges Haiti faces and the hurdles we have navigated together over these 20 years, our resolve remains unbroken. The trust placed in us by our customers, partners, and communities is the driving force behind our continuous efforts to innovate and improve. Digicel Haiti is more than a service provider; we are a partner in Haiti's ongoing story, committed to fostering connections that truly matter and contributing to a brighter future for all Haitians. This anniversary is a shared celebration, and our commitment to Haiti's future is absolute.

Alongside Haitians, Digicel has shared moments of joy as well as the most difficult periods. From celebrating culture, football to carnival, from Artisanat en Fรชte to country festivals, to mobilizing during major trials, notably the 2010 earthquake, hurricanes and successive crises, our teams have always responded, with commitment and determination.
