Our missions have been conducted in 10 countries. These missions are planned in conjunction
with local churches, community organizations, local businesses and government officials of the
visited country. In some countries we also provide food and clothing. In our travels we have been
to Jamaica 3 times serving over 19,000 persons; Guyana on 4 missions serving over 15,000
persons; South Africa, for 2 missions serving over 17,000 persons; St Vincent we visited once
serving over 6,000 persons; In Dominica we served over 7,000 persons on our single visit;
Dominican Republic, we visited twice serving over 11,000 persons , and serving over 3,000 in the
Bateyes [a community of Haitian migrants and sugar cane workers living in sub-standard
conditions]; On our single visit to Saint Lucia we saw over 7,000 persons; Grenada 1 mission
serving over 5,000 persons; Ghana on 4 missions serving over 43,000 persons and New
Orleans, Louisiana, USA , 2 missions providing Medical and Dental services to residents of the
Lower 9th Ward, an area hardest hit by Hurricane Katrina.
Other notable services provided through Dorcas medical mission in Ghana include, establishing a
partnership with local medical and nursing students; a well providing running water in Ga-
Odumase; improved several church building and facilities and running water to a local community
in Chorkor. In Ghana and South Africa, Dorcas Medical Mission has established relationship with
many Church Ministers and has conducted many Leadership Seminars and Training Conferences.
These missions have seen the delivery of over $12M in actual expenditure on goods and
services. In terms of reasonable cost of professional services and market value for medication
and supplies as well as food and clothing, the economic benefit to the needy is well in excess of
$30M.
Dorcas plans to set up 3 permanent missions in the near future.
• Ghana – A clinic with a permanent staff of 2 doctors and 2 nurses is to be established in
Chorkor. This will run all year with additional staffing provided on a rotating basis from volunteers
who wish to give their vacation time to this effort. The volunteer pool will include Dorcas and other
volunteers and housing will be provided at the complex. The complex will also house volunteers
on Dorcas revolving missions and will be made available to other volunteer organizations working
in the area from time to time.
• Guyana – A clinic similar to the one in Ghana is planned for Guyana at a site to be chosen.
Administration and staffing will be along the same lines as the Chorkhor clinic.
• South Africa – Dorcas is proposing to establish an orphanage Dorcas Sunshine Home for
children orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Alexandra, Johannesburg. This will house 20 children and will
be sited on a property already acquired. The property will require some modifications and the
project will require a staff of at least 10. Another 3-acre plot of land has been purchased to erect
a multi-purpose facility.
