The HALO Trust Somalia

The HALO Trust is the world's oldest and largest humanitarian mine clearance charity, dedicated to making the world a safer place by clearing landmines and unexploded ordnance. Established in 1997, HALO has been operational in Somalia since 1999, focusing on the regions of Somaliland and southern Somalia. The organization works tirelessly to protect lives, restore livelihoods, and facilitate the return of displaced communities by ensuring that land is safe for agriculture and habitation. With a mission to clear landmines and other explosives, HALO Trust employs local staff and collaborates with communities to raise awareness about the dangers of unexploded ordnance. Their comprehensive approach includes not only mine clearance but also risk education and advocacy for safer environments. HALO Trust's commitment to humanitarian efforts has made a significant impact in Somalia, contributing to the recovery and development of communities affected by conflict.
