À propos de moi
Every day, MAG works to help communities overcome a devastating legacy of conflict.

Farmland, water sources, gardens and schools are contaminated with landmines and unexploded bombs, and these items remain just as deadly after conflict a they were when they were first laid.

After surviving the conflict, many are now trying to survive the peace.

Through its humanitarian programmes of employment, clearance, education and aid partnership, MAG reduces the suffering caused by forgotten landmines and bombs by working with communities and training local staff to physically get mines and bombs out of the ground right now.

Every mine and bomb cleared is a life or limb saved.

  • Community Challenge Cambodia

    19-29 March 2009

    Cambodia is one of the most heavily mined and unexploded ordnance-contaminated countries in the world. MAG has been operational in the country since 1992, clearing the remnants of conflict from both the Vietnam War (1959-1975) and the Cambodian–Vietnamese War (1975-1989).

    MAG's work in Cambodia does not just save lives; it clears the path to the country's rural development. The extent of contamination in the country means that much of the rural population lives day-to-day with the threat of injury or death outside their door. MAG is helping to provide the solution.

    This challenge is one that brings you into the real essence of Cambodia. We spend two days trekking around the 800 year old temples of the greater Angkor Wat region and then work on a community project to build Cambodian style houses for the poor and victims of landmines.

    Our last day will be spent visiting a MAG project to see the amazing, life saving work being done and meet the heroes dedicating their lives to destroying landmines. The history, trekking, building project and warmth and friendliness of the Cambodian people will leave us with great memories of an amazing challenge.

  • Death Valley Cycle Challenge

    Cycle over 250 miles across Death Valley to help MAG locate and destroy landmines in the countries affected by conflict across the world: THE REAL DEATH VALLEYS.

    Saturday 8th to Saturday 15th November 2008.

    Flying direct from London to Las Vegas, all our Death Valley cyclists will begin their challenge at Beatty Junction, about 100 miles from the centre of the city. Over the next five days, the group will pedal through California and Nevada, through altitudes ranging from sea level to 5500 ft and through the dramatic rocks and shimmering dunes of America's largest national park, before cycling into the lights of Las Vegas.
