Every landmine left in the ground is a family unable to farm, a child unable to play, and a community trapped by fear. Today, on International Mine Awareness Day, we must act with urgency—because every day that landmines remain, lives are at risk.

Demining is slow and dangerous work. But thanks to new technology, we can clear land faster and more precisely than ever before.

HALO is using a wide range of cutting-edge technology to protect communities and save lives in Ukraine, Angola and beyond. Employing new, innovative solutions will be key to achieving a mine-free world. Advances in areas such as drones, artificial intelligence and automation are making our work faster, safer and more accurate.

The faster we work, the sooner families can return home, farmers can plant crops, and children can walk to school safely. 

And today, your support will go twice as far. A generous donor will match every gift—cash or non-cash—up to $200,000. That means you’re not just funding landmine clearance, you’re restoring land and livelihoods at twice the impact. 

Communities shouldn’t have to wait. Help clear the land they depend on!
