| The HALO Trust is a non-political, non-religious NGO, registered in the United States as a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization and in Britain as a charity (no.1001813 and SCO37870).
HALO specializes in the removal of the debris of war. HALO has 7,000 mineclearers in 9 countries, with on-going surveys into
new regions.
HALO’s operations are grouped under Central Asia, South
East Asia, Horn of Africa,
Southern Africa and the Caucasus & Balkans. Our innovative
training of local management and introduction of new equipment
allows us to continue expansion as funding becomes available.
On 19th June 2002, HALO celebrated clearing its first million
landmines and other
unexploded ordnance (UXO), a testament to the dedication of
our staff,
the generosity of our donors and the number of lives that
have been saved.
By late 2007 the total figure had almost reached 10,000,000 items.
HALO is not distracted by involvement in campaigns and conferences.
We have a simple mission statement -
“getting mines out of the ground, now”.
