Last year you transformed the lives of over one million people living in fear of landmines and the explosive debris of war. Thanks to you, tens of thousands of landmines were destroyed, for good. But this is just the start of the story, once the mines are gone confidence is restored. Minefields can become farmers fields so families can put food on the table. Vital resources like health facilities and clean water can be accessed safely. Children no longer risk crossing mined land to reach school. Life begins again.
Together we are helping some of the the world's most vulnerable families get back on their feet. In the 25 countries where HALO works, we become part of the community, creating jobs where opportunities are scarce—98 percent of our workforce are local staff. This wouldn't be possible without the generous support of our donors—from governments and institutions, corporations and foundations, to individuals donating or raising money for HALO, you are the difference that saves lives and transforms futures.
Transforming Lives Together
To mark Mine Awareness Day we bring you stories of the difference you have made in each of the countries where we work across the world. In the current global crisis, your support is appreciated more than ever so we can continue to protect families already struggling to survive. Thank you.
