Mission Statement
MAG saves lives and builds futures by clearing landmines and unexploded bombs, by reducing risk and by supporting improved management of weapons and ammunition to create secure conditions for development.
About This Cause
MAG helps millions of people affected by armed violence and conflict in Africa, the Middle East and South East Asia. We remove and destroy landmines and unexploded bombs, which kill and maim thousands of innocent people each year. Nearly half of casualties are aged 18: we are determined to get to the problems before children do. Millions of people are trapped in danger and poverty by mines and unexploded bombs, often for decades after wars end. Every day we save lives, remove fear, and enable communities to use farmland, access water sources and carry out infrastructure projects in safety. New conflicts are putting even more people in immediate danger. Forced to flee the fighting, they take refuge in unfamiliar places which themselves have a legacy of conflict and are still scattered with landmines and unexploded bombs. On returning home, they face further problems - from the bombs that have failed to function, improvised mines and booby-traps that lie in the rubble of destroyed homes, hospitals and schools. MAG also cuts up weapons to stop them from falling into the wrong hands, and helps to prevent the ammunition depot explosions that cost thousands of lives every year.
