Roj Mine Control Organization

A local, non-governmental, non-profit organization that specializes in mine clearance and awareness of the dangers of mines. Its activity is concentrated in the north and east of Syria. It was established at the end of 2016 by a group of people with experience in the field of demining with a work team of no more than ten people. It began to expand with local support and with simple capabilities in the form of donations until it established relationships at the local and international levels by the end of the year 2017.

 In 2017, we received support from the local organization “Shar Development” to start the MRE project, where the partnership was the first of its kind between two local community service organizations to launch the MRE project.

Then we signed a contract with MAG International. It included covering part of the administrative costs and salaries for the demining team and two outreach teams. The contract lasted for more than a year. Subsequently, a partnership contract was signed with the Internal Security Forces, which was a training program for members of the Internal Security Forces, with the support of the International Coalition, where more than 950 deminers graduated over the course of one year, and we also received support in the form of equipment and mine detectors from SOA “Spirit Of America”.
