Celebrating the Life and Legacy of
Bernard Fils-Aimé
Bernard Fils-Aimé was a visionary Haitian entrepreneur and compassionate activist whose legacy continues to illuminate the path of progress. His unwavering dedication to the Haitian community was reflected through his co-founding of the Haitian Refugee Center and his influential role on the board of the Haitian Education & Leadership Program. With a heart committed to creating positive change, Bernard also steered the ship of Comcel Haiti as it's managing director from its inception in 1998 until its acquisition by Digicel in 2012. Bernard believed education to be the catalyst for transformative leadership and growth. We have a call to action for all who have been touched by him to continue the work. His remarkable journey remains an inspiration, as his profound contributions have left an indelible mark on the lives of many, driving us to propel his legacy forward through the Bernard Fils-Aimé Memorial Scholarship Fund.
