I first came across this charity just after I wandered through a minefield in Lao.  Well, it was more along paths cleared through a minefield at an archaeological site…. The plain of jars is beautiful if you ever get the chance to go.

Unexploded mines and bombs affect more than 25% of Lao villages.  This prevents land use and is a key cause of poverty.  Attempts to plough this land or collect scrap metal are still killing and injuring scores of people each year. 

MAG’s work in Lao and other countries is both saving lives now and helping the people in these countries to build sustainable futures for their families.
