MAG (Mines Advisory Group)

Charity Registration No. 1083008

MAG (Mines Advisory Group) is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organisation clearing the remnants of conflict for the benefit of communities worldwide. MAG is co-laureate of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for its work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL), which culminated in the 1997 Mine Ban Treaty - the international agreement that bans antipersonnel landmines, sometimes referred to as the Ottawa Convention. MAG moves into current and former conflict zones to clear the remnants of those conflicts, enabling recovery and assisting the development of affected populations. MAG consults with local communities and works to lessen the threat of death and injury, while releasing reclaimed and safe land and other vital resources back to the local population, helping countries to rebuild and develop their social and economic potential. MAG has worked in around 35 countries since 1989 and currently has operations in Angola, Burundi, Cambodia, Chad, Cyprus, Democratic Republic of Congo, Iraq, Lao P.D.R., Lebanon, Republic of Congo, Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Vietnam.

My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Last year I visited Cambodia & was shocked by the conditions that some of the people have to endure in terms of housing and healthcare, in a lot of areas it is non-existent. There are still hundreds of people killed or injured each year as a result of unexploded ordnance from various wars in the past. I left that country with the feeling that I had to do something to try and help them. So in a way this challenge found me rather than the other way round.

I have been lucky in my life, I have always had a job, never gone hungry, and always had a roof over my head. I was also lucky enough to be stood on the right beach in Penang when the tsunami struck and to recover from cancer.

The people of Cambodia have to be more than lucky just to survive day to day. They risk life and limb just going into the fields to scratch out a living.

Help is needed for the landmine victims to build and repair houses and by raising money for MAG I know that it will go where it is needed. To be part of this challenge I need to raise £3000 and to do that I need as much sponsorship as possible.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Mines Advisory Group gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
