Pack first.
Appeals go out after the crate is on a pallet. If we cannot move it this month, we do not promise it.
About
A field call sign that became an organization.
PH44 Humanitarian Missions is presented as a 501(c)(3). We keep medical, water, and shelter desks open in fourteen countries. Headquarters is a PO box and a warehouse aisle.
Origin
Léogâne, 2018.
A four-person medical team ran out of labels in a flooded schoolyard and wrote PH44 on the last crate of saline with packing tape. The crate made it. The mark became how we find our cargo in a yard of identical cardboard.
We incorporated so we could accept gifts the way a freight company accepts a bill of lading: counted, assigned, gone. The tape logo on this site is a photograph of the real mark. We did not hire a studio to invent it.
Rules
Local clinicians, our logistics.
We do not replace the people who already know the road. We fill the shelf and the tank.
No theater.
No branded tents if a hall is free. No child posed for a camera. Reports are packing lists and outcomes.
The tape is the brand.
PH44 is a field call sign. It goes on crates, clinic doors, and convoy tarps. If it does not hold in the rain, it does not go on the site.
