I am here for Networking

About Me

Every 30 minutes, of everyday, someone finds a landmine by accident and either loses their life, or suffers horrific injuries.Over 90% are innocent civilians. One third are children.On average it takes 12 hours for the casualty to receive any treatmentLandmines also severely impede and disrupt development in poor countries struggling to recover from conflict. In this way landmines indirectly affect millions of people.It only costs about £1 to clear a square metre of minefield.Put a No More Landmines Trust banner on your page and help us spread the word
