WHAT WE DO

We create safe and secure environments in war torn communities by clearing landmines, managing stockpiles of weapons and destroying unexploded ordnance.

War leaves countries for dead. It is painful enough for those who have lost everything, without finding that they cannot return home because the land is unsafe.

Humanitarian relief helps in the immediate aftermath, but once the story has left the headlines there is a gap in the recovery process where communities are being forgotten. Families cannot rebuild their lives until they can return home and farm their land. Development cannot begin until there is safety, security and confidence to support infrastructure, or to plan for essential buildings like homes, hospitals, schools and businesses.

In short, we help some of the world’s most vulnerable communities get back on their feet.
