A historic day for HFE – Humanitarian for Empowerment
Humanitarian for Empowerment has signed a historic and unique agreement with the Government of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Our heartfelt thanks also go to the Philippe and Elisabeth Dufour Foundation.
This agreement goes far beyond a simple partnership:
it represents a promise of lasting change, an opportunity to transform lives, and to strengthen a healthcare system founded on shared values — respect, equity, and collaboration.
🤝 This equal partnership paves the way for concrete projects, particularly in the field of prosthetics for amputees, as well as in other areas of medicine and surgery, where innovation and humanity meet.
The President of HFE, Dr. Surennaidoo Naiken MD, FMH, FEBS, FACS, EMBA, had the honor of initialing and signing this agreement alongside Sri Lankan authorities, thus marking the beginning of an exemplary cooperation between nations, institutions, and hearts united by a shared vision: restoring dignity and independence to those who need it most.
🌍 Together, we demonstrate that by joining forces, it is possible to change lives, systems — and even history.
