Around 200,000 Cambodian families have directly benefited from MAG's work in the country since our programme began there in 1992.
As a result of nearly three decades of conflict, Cambodia remains one of the countries most severely affected by landmines. Click on the gallery above to view 30 images taken by MAG photographer Sean Sutton from 1996 to 2011, documenting the problems and how MAG has been addressing them.
Our clearance and Mine Risk Education activities help communities to reclaim ownership of their land, and provide them with the knowledge to help reduce accidents in the future.
Areas previously hindered by the presence – or suspected presence – of mines and unexploded ordnance can, following MAG's work, be used for population resettlement, the construction of wells, schools and health centres, improvements to roads, and increasing access to plots of agricultural land.
MAG's Cambodia programme is supported by: Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs; The Hurvis Foundation; Life with Dignity; The Rowan Charitable Trust; UKaid (Department for International Development); US Department of Defence, Night Vision and Electronic Sensory Directorate (NVESD); US Department of State's Office of Weapons Removal and Abatement .
