Moïse, who is 14 years old, lost his leg in 2010 when Haiti was struck by a powerful earthquake. With support from Humanity & Inclusion (HI), he has now been fitted with a prosthesis. He meets the HI team regularly to ensure regular adjustments can be made as he grows.

Moïse was 4 years old when he was buried beneath rubble by the powerful earthquake that struck Haiti on 12th January 2010. His left leg was amputated a week later. Without crutches, he was only able to move around by crawling. After meeting Humanity & Inclusion’s (HI) teams, Moïse was fitted with a prosthesis and started to attend rehabilitation sessions to improve his mobility and indepedence.
Moïse will turn 15 years old in March 2021. He lives with his parents and younger brother. He stays in contact with HI’s teams and still benefits from rehabilitation support, including his new prosthesis which is regularly adjusted, and medical care in case he needs revision surgery. Moïse is a lively boy who loves to play football. At school, as well as learning he gets involved in lots of extra-curricular activities, such as basketry and classical dance!

One year after the earthquake that struck Myanmar in March 2025, the situation remains fragile: Humanity & Inclusion has provided support to tens of thousands of people in the regions hardest hit by the disaster.
A year ago, a powerful earthquake struck the city of Mandalay, turning Paing Thu Zaw and his family life upside down. Thanks to HI’s support, they are gradually regaining hope and independence.
