About us
The HALO Trust is a UK-based charity that clears and manages explosives around the world. We work alongside The HALO Trust USA, a separate legal entity set up to raise funds for our global activities.
For over 35 years, we've been making land safe and saving lives. We help communities around the world to recover from the impact of war.
When conflict ends, land is often left littered with dangerous explosives. Families live in fear and poverty. They can't plant crops or graze cattle safely. Day-to-day activities like getting to school or fetching water can be high risk. True peace doesn't come until their land is safe.
Our work in action
Our mission
Protect lives and restore the livelihoods of those affected by conflict
Our local staff
We recruit and train local men and women to clear landmines in their own communities. This income can help them to rebuild their lives. Some people buy livestock, plant crops, or start a business. This puts them back in control of their lives.
We're 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. We are working hard to fulfil the promise of the 1997 Ottawa Mine Ban Treaty and clear the world of landmines, but we need your help.
