In their own words
“HALO is the world’s largest humanitarian mine clearance organisation. We lead the effort to protect lives and restore livelihoods for those affected by conflict. We remove landmines and make safe other weapons such as cluster bombs, stockpiles of small arms and improvised explosive devices (IEDs).”

“Born out of a desire to help the people of Afghanistan in 1988, we now have over 7,400 staff in 30 countries and territories, working to empower vulnerable communities to improve their livelihoods following conflict. Millions of families have been able to return to their homes safely thanks to this work, but there is still much to do. There are many challenges associated with delivering humanitarian work but we are passionate in our commitment to create safe, secure communities but we do not shy away from working in countries where there are gaps in international support for clear humanitarian needs. As an advocate for the ‘forgotten’ in the world, we urgently wish to reach more countries.”
