Your Impact 2024:

Rebuilding Lives, Restoring Futures
15th September 2025 | Angola, Laos, Kosovo, Ukraine, Colombia, Sri Lanka, Cambodia | News | HALO news

Thanks to you, 2024 was a year of extraordinary change. Together, we cleared landmines, protected families, and gave communities back their safety and their future.

With your generosity, thousands of acres of land are now safe again, and entire communities have begun to rebuild their lives. This Impact Report celebrates the difference the HALO community is making around the world.

"Now, as you can see, there are these yellow sticks, which means that you can walk freely. Our residents who have their own farms graze their animals here…Now, thank God, everything is cleared, and this is wonderful!" - Ivan
