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 9,500 staff in 26 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.

There are many challenges associated with delivering humanitarian work but we are passionate in our commitment to create safe, secure communities but we do not shy away from working in countries where there are gaps in international support for clear humanitarian needs. As an advocate for the ‘forgotten’ in the world, we urgently wish to reach more countries where our skills and experience can accelerate recovery and provide the essential groundwork to help address the root cause of the current refugee crisis.

Demining remains our core purpose but in order to deal with the broader debris of war, we are strengthening our work in weapons and ammunition management. We help governments to manage stockpiles of weapons and dispose of weapons and ammunition.
