Mission Trip

Our mission extends far beyond borders. We are dedicated to supporting healthcare centers, training healthcare professionals, launching awareness campaigns on various health issues, and delivering essential medical supplies and equipment to remote locations in Sub-Saharan Africa. Our commitment is to fill the healthcare void by providing surplus medical and healthcare-related resources to neglected communities within the African region and emerging countries. We bridge the gap between those who hope and those who have, making a profound impact on healthcare accessibility.

A Journey of Compassion
Our mission journey began in 2011 when Dr. Plat Dangerfield, inspired by a medical mission, witnessed the critical need for basic medical equipment and supplies in developing countries. Simultaneously, he observed the enormous excess of medical supplies being discarded regularly within the United States. Driven by a vision to make a difference, he gathered a team of dedicated medical professionals in Washington D.C. to initiate a program that reroutes reusable medical and surgical supplies to countries and communities in need.

Our Ongoing Commitment

Our commitment to transforming lives through mission trips remains unwavering. We focus on supporting healthcare centers, training healthcare professionals, and raising awareness on critical health issues. We work collaboratively with local hospitals and change agents, organizing free surgeries for local populations, ensuring that quality healthcare is accessible to all, regardless of their location or economic circumstances.
Over the years, PHS has achieved remarkable milestones, delivering in excess of $2 million in medical supplies to 8 African nations, including Tanzania, Rwanda, Zimbabwe, the Republic of Congo, Nigeria, the Democratic Republic of Congo, and Cote d’Ivoire. The impact has been profound:

  • Children, previously unable to walk, now have wheelchairs and crutches to provide assistance.
  • Surgeons, who once lacked necessary surgical equipment, now have access to gloves, scalpels, syringes, and antibiotics.
  • Hospitals that previously accommodated patients on the floor now have beds and examination tables, vastly improving patient care and comfort.

    Supporting Clean Water Sources
    In our unwavering commitment to holistic community empowerment, Petronille Healthy Society (PHS) goes beyond providing healthcare support. We recognize that access to clean and safe water sources is a fundamental need. To address this, we actively participate in well-building projects in underserved communities. These wells serve as lifelines, providing communities with access to a vital resource for clean drinking water, sanitation, and overall well-being. Clean water is a basic human right, and our well-building initiatives ensure that no one should ever have to suffer due to a lack of this essential resource.

    Education for a Brighter Future
    PHS believes in the transformative power of education. In addition to healthcare and water initiatives, we are deeply committed to supporting schools and educational programs. Education is the cornerstone of empowerment, and we work to ensure that children in underserved communities have access to quality schooling. By supporting schools and creating educational programs, we're paving the way for a brighter and more promising future for these communities, giving young minds the tools they need to reach their full potential.

    Fighting Malnutrition for Stronger Communities
    Malnutrition is a pressing issue in many underserved regions. Petronille Healthy Society understands the critical importance of addressing this challenge. Our dedicated programs aim to combat malnutrition by providing essential nutritional resources, awareness campaigns, and community support. We believe that by fighting malnutrition, we can help create healthier and stronger communities, one meal at a time. Our commitment extends to improving nutrition and overall well-being, empowering communities to thrive.
