Thanks to you, Myurishen will be mine free

The Merjumian family live next to a minefield. We will change that. A first of its kind crowdfunding appeal raised $30,000 to make their village safe. Together we are creating Safe Steps for the people of Karabakh - one cleared minefield at a time.

Getting mines out of the ground, for good

These children are harvesting mushrooms in a field that used to be heavily mined. This is one of thousands of former minefields we have made safe to farm. We have the skills and capacity to get more vulnerable communities back on their feet. Find out how you can help.

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.
