The HALO Trust

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). Born out of a desire to help the people of Afghanistan in 1988, we now have over 6,000 staff in 19 countries and territories, working to get vulnerable communities back on their feet 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.
