Douglas was hit in the head by falling rocks during a series of landslides triggered by the earthquake. The five-year-old was lucky enough to survive but 11 others in his town were killed.
While the immediate devastations of the earthquake were behind him, Douglas had to face the horrible reality of returning to his village where he and his family would need to rebuild their home and crop.
Today, UNICEF is still working with partners and the PNG government to provide medicine, vaccines, clean water, hygiene kits and safe spaces for children like Douglas to access services.
