"I heard the sound of an explosion and my wife’s scream... her face was covered in soot."
The ongoing war in Ukraine is threatening lives and livelihoods.
On 24 February 2022, life changed forever for families across Ukraine when the Russian offensive began. Homes and streets became the frontline and a devastating humanitarian crisis unfolded.
Over more than 3 years of war, entire communities have been destroyed. Farmers' fields have become minefields, and landmines and explosives threaten lives.
Families are desperate to return home and rebuild, the fields need sowing so this season's harvest can be grown. Your support can make land safe so reconstruction can begin.
HALO's work in Ukraine
The HALO Ukraine team has conducted mine clearance in the eastern cities of Kramatorsk and Mariupol since 2016. When the invasion began we responded immediately to support those in need, moving our entire operation across the country to Kyiv.
Today, HALO has over 1,400 Ukrainian staff on the ground. We're working to make land safe across the Kyiv, Chernihiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, Mykolaiv and Kherson oblasts. We also conduct survey operations in Donetsk oblast, and risk education in Dnipro, Donetsk and Odessa oblasts.
