So What Can U DO

With an estimated one to two million landmines deployed, Mozambique is one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. This infestation represents a serious threat to the rural population and a significant obstacle to post-war reconstruction and sustainable development. Landmines not only endanger human lives, they also prevent economic development, obstruct transportation, and restrict agricultural production. Treatment of landmine survivors also strains the already overburdened national health care system.

Following the October 1992 signing of the Peace Accord in Rome, mine clearance became a priority in the restoration of peace, in particular the return of internally displaced persons and refugees to their homes. Mine clearance emphasis has now shifted to accelerating the process of reconstruction and sustainable development.
