After the earthquake: Myriam's story

Myriam was at home with her son when the earthquake struck. Seriously injured by a concrete block, her husband rushed her to hospital. But her leg had to be amputated at the femur.

Fitted with a prosthesis by our team in Haiti, Myriam revisits her home for the first time and shows us the destruction. She is still homeless and is living in a tent. But she has been able to go back to her job at the library and is happy to have been able to regain her place in society.
