About HALO Trust
For over thirty years, we’ve been saving lives and helping war-torn communities recover, by making their land safe. When conflict ends, land is all too often littered with landmines and other dangerous explosives. Families live in fear and poverty. They can’t plant crops or graze cattle and day-to-day activities like getting to school and fetching water are fraught with risk. True peace doesn’t come until their land is safe. We do this by recruiting and training local men and women to clear landmines in their own communities. With their earnings, they can rebuild their lives. Some buy livestock, others plant crops or even start a business. They are once again in control of their own destiny. We are proud that 98% of our 10,000 employees come from the communities we serve.
