What we do

We find and destroy landmines, cluster munitions and unexploded bombs in places affected by conflict. We also work to limit the causes and address the consequences of armed violence in communities. Our work saves lives, eases suffering, protects human rights and contributes to sustainable peace and security. Since 1989, we have helped over 20 million people in 70 countries.
