Adopt-A-Minefield

Quotes

Adopt-A-Minefield is a global partnership for mine action with campaigns in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom and Sweden. The global campaign is one of the leading mine action organisations in the world through the dedication of Board members, staff in each country campaign, and the help of Goodwill Ambassador Paul McCartney.

The Adopt-A-Minefield Campaign helps save lives by raising funds for mine clearance and survivor assistance and by raising awareness about the landmine issue. Adopt-A-Minefield works primarily through the United Nations to clear fields in the some of the most heavily mined countries in the world and with a number of organisations to provide relief to landmine survivors.

Since its creation in 1999 Adopt-A-Minefield has:

  • Raised over $22 million for mine clearance and survivor assistance;

  • Cleared some 25 million square metres of land in Afghanistan, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Croatia,
    Mozambique, Nepal, and Vietnam. In addition, special appeals were launched, primarily in the USA, for Iraq and Lebanon.

  • Provided over $3 million for survivor assistance projects in Abkhazia, Afghanistan, Angola, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Cambodia, Colombia, Ethiopia, Iraq, Laos, Mozambique, Nepal, and Vietnam.

  • Developed the annual Night of A Thousand Dinners initiative to engage people in over 50 countries in raising funds for humanitarian landmine action.

  • Partnered on mine clearance projects with Afghan Technical Consultants, Bosnia and Herzegovina Mine Action Centre, Cambodian Mine Action Centre, Canadian International Demining Corps, Croatian Mine Action Centre, Demining Agency for Afghanistan, Handicap International, Landmine Survivors Network, Mines Advisory Group, Mine Dog Center, and the Organization for Mine Clearance and Afghan Rehabilitation.
