Mine risk education
MAG have supported fellow NGO White Pigeon in their mine risk education (MRE) activities, providing resident and returning populations with information enabling them to live as safely as possible in a contaminated environment. MRE has been ongoing in the Vanni region for more than two years and teams are keen to ensure that the messages they deliver continue to be interesting and informative to all age groups. The presentations MAG undertakes attract large audiences and include both day and night-time sessions, portable exhibitions, delivering public information through house to house visits and carrying out NGO briefings.
Throughout the past few months MAG's MRE teams have delivered 228 presentations, providing life-saving information to almost 21,000 people. MAG has been able to reach such a large audience as a result of the unique range of activities it implements.
