To address this, HALO, with partners PENHA Network, launched a land rehabilitation project.
Over 600 soil ponds were built across 60 hectares to capture rainwater and support the return of vegetation on 3 demined sites.
Thank you to 🇩🇪 @germany.diplo.de for funding this vital work.

We're there, responding to a high volume of callouts from local people, safely destroying explosives and offering advice on how to stay safe.
Given the scale of contamination and volume of casualties, we urgently need to scale our team up to 400 deminers to clear all of Syria.

Clearing unexploded ordnance is key to saving lives, allowing refugees to return home safely, protecting livelihoods and aiding economic recovery.

🧵(2/2): Over the following decades, HALO cleared thousands of landmines. The minefield where Diana walked is now home to a school named in her honour.
HALO has worked in Angola since 1994, clearing entire cities, provinces, railways and airports, bringing prosperity to millions.

As well as all aspects of EOD training, team members also train as paramedics.
We thank our donors for our current funding, but urgently need to grow our team from 40 to 400-500 deminers to clear the country and save more lives. We estimate that will cost around $40m a year.

"It's a great achievement and shows HALO’s commitment to building local capacity that can help people safely return home.”
