Clearing mines is tough; clearing flooded minefields...impossible
In June, a breach in the #NovaKakhovka dam flooded minefields in #Ukraine, increasing the risk for local families. Whilst we paused our work, our teams taught people how to remain safe.
All week, we have been celebrating a monumental milestone for HALO.
#2MillionMines. Gone for good ๐ฅ
Thank you to our incredible local staff who save and transform lives, every day ๐

#2MillionMines gone for good ๐ฅ
Over the past 35 years, thousands of local men & women have dedicated themselves to saving the lives of others.
Today we pay tribute to them & the incredible support of our donors who have made this milestone possible.

"Live demining is challenging! But morale gets boosted when you find a real mine in the jungle minefields of #SriLanka."
#Demining takes resilience. Our Field Officer trainees need to learn every aspect of the job but nothing beats the feeling when you find your first #landmine.
"I used to think I can easily do anything I want on my own. Training helped me realise to achieve great things, I need to cooperate with my team."
Demining = ultimate #teamwork These Field Officer trainees will spend 4 mths learning from our highly experienced Sri Lankan staff.
"Empowering women to meaningfully engage in tackling issues like #WeaponsProliferation brings new perspectives & ideas to a largely male dominated space"
Thanks to support from @CanadaDev HALO is training more women to work in #WAM โก๏ธ https://t.co/c9BiNIxzhZ

In Uruzgan Province in southern Afghanistan, HALO deminers funded by ๐ฉ๐ช @GermanyDiplo and @GermanyinAFG have cleared improvised explosive devices (IEDs) from the land, allowing farmers to plant crops and rear livestock. In total HALO has destroyed 5,000 IEDs in recent years.
๐ฅ In Afghanistan we have passed a milestone: 5,000 improvised explosive devices have been ๐ฅ destroyed by HALO's teams.
Countless lives and limbs have been saved and farmland made safe to grow food. Made possible thanks to the support of ๐บ๐ธ ๐ฉ๐ช ๐ณ๐ฑ ๐ฌ๐ง ๐ณ๐ด ๐ฎ๐ช ๐ช๐บ ๐ซ๐ฎ & the UN.
With support from ๐บ๐ธ @StateDeptPM and in partnership with Solomon Islands authorities we have started to find the UXO left behind by the War in the Pacific.
No two days working as a Field Officer are ever the same. Life is rarely dull, but working for HALO can be tough. If you want to make a difference to people's lives, this could be the job for you.

We have been working hard in El Salvador on a mangrove project โ clearing mud and other material to improve water access to chinampas (narrow floating fields). Work continues to ensure local people can earn a livelihood from the land and water.
