The Patrick Henry International Development Corporation (PHIDC) is a consortium
of diplomatic, security, legal, business, medical, educational, and technological
interests, designed to augment major international development support efforts.
PHIDC's scope is global.
In December of 2007, the PHIDC's executive director accompanied a Congressional
Delegation to Haiti led by Representative Brown of Florida. As a result, PHIDC
has strengthened its resolve to play a role to bring security, operational democracy
and a functional economy to Haiti. Further, PHIDC has agreed to provide voluntary
support to micro-credit economic projects operated by the African Methodist
Episcopal Church Service and Development Agency.
PHIDC's support is not limited to Haiti, however, as it seeks similar roles,
particularly in the area of security, law, and governance, on a worldwide basis.
PHIDC is evolving, seeking to expand its consortium and its capabilities,
from commercial security firms to private technical companies to educational
institutions to law firms. At its core, however, PHIDC stands ready to provide
sound and practical support to developing nations
