The Halo Trust

When conflict ends, land is all too often littered with landmines and other dangerous explosives. Families cannot plant crops or graze cattle, and day-to-day activities like getting to school and fetching water are fraught with risk and fear. The HALO Trust is the world's largest humanitarian landmine clearance charity. For over thirty years, we have been saving lives and helping war-torn communities recover, by making their land safe. Today, we have 10,000 employees in 28 countries and territories around the world.
