About Us

The HALO Trust is a UK-based charity, working with The HALO Trust USA, a separate legal entity set up to raise funds for our global activities.

For over 35 years, we've been saving lives and helping war-torn communities recover, by making their land safe.

When conflict ends, land is all too often littered with landmines and other dangerous explosives. Families live in fear and poverty. They can't plant crops or graze cattle and day-to-day activities like getting to school and fetching water are fraught with risk. True peace doesn't come until their land is safe.

True peace comes when land is safe

Our mission is to protect lives and restore the livelihoods of those affected by conflict.

We do this by recruiting and training local men and women to clear landmines in their own communities. With their earnings, they can rebuild their lives. Some buy livestock, others plant crops or even start a business. They are once again in control of their own destiny.

We are proud that 95% of our 9,000 employees come from the communities we serve.

Our humanitarian work saves lives and has transformed the future for millions of families, but there is still much to do. We are working to fulfil the promise of the 1997 Ottawa Mine Ban Treaty and clear the world of landmines by 2025 but we need your help.
