MgM Förderverein is run entirley by volunteers, and has the tasks to educate about the landmine problem in Africa and most importantly to support the work of the Non-Profit N.G.O. MgM (Stiftung Menschen gegen Minen e.V./ Foundation People aginst Landmines) by raising funds to support the on-going landmine clearance operations in Africa.
MgM (Stiftung Menschen gegen Minen e.V./ Foundation People against Landmines) is an active landmine clearance organization operating in Angola, Southern Africa.
Infrastructures in this country afflicted by civil wars are being rebuilt successfully. Main focus for MgM crews include roads or railway networks, markets and water wells. Only when these are free of mines can the refugees return to their homes and other organizations can begin to seed their programs of peace.
Human Mine clearance in post war scenarios are full of risks. Exact knowledge or assessments of present danger is not always 100%, but demining technology helps to reduce the risks.
MgM's S.O.P.s, or Standard Operation Procedures, are internationally approved. Latest technologies and armour provide highest possible levels of safety for operators and end-users. Our safety records are impeccable.
