This May 21, 2019 photo shows prosthetics and lower limb orthoses at a workshop in St. Vincent's Center, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The technicians at the center have made some 8,000 prostheses since the devastating 2010 quake, although now only about 15 percent of people seeking help are earthquake victims.

In this June 4, 2019 photo, former welder Wilfrid Macena works on a prosthetic socket in a workshop at St. Vincent's Center, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. During the devastating 2010 earthquake an injured Macena was unable to reach a hospital for seven days and his knee became infected, forcing doctors to amputate most of his leg. "It's like I got a brand new life," he recalled, adding that one of the workers at St. Vincent's Center convinced him to join their team, assuring him that it was similar to welding.

Haitians who lost a limb in the devastating 2010 earthquake are getting help nearly a decade later thanks to a small group of disabled workers at the institution run by Haiti's Episcopal Diocese who are fitting victims with prostheses.
