The Halo Trust Cambodia

The HALO Trust is the world’s largest humanitarian mine clearance organisation. We save lives and restore communities threatened by landmines and other weapons of war, such as cluster bombs, stockpiles of small arms and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). Our work creates safe and secure environments in some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. We lift local families out of poverty by creating jobs for deminers and we prepare the way for development and long term stability. As part of its 25 years in Cambodia, HALO and the Cambodian Mine Action Centre (CMAC) cleared over 10,000 landmines in the early 2000s from the Temples. HALO is now clearing the surrounding areas which still claimed casualties as recently as four months ago.
