🔻 UKRAINE: NEWS FROM THE FIELD
While the situation remains tense, hundreds of mines and unexploded ordnance have already been neutralized by FSD teams. Our deminers have been present in Chernihiv province for five months now. They are now also deployed in Kharkiv province, in Izium, a city that was occupied for several months.
URBAN GARDENS TO HELP MINE SURVIVORS
In addition to life-altering injuries, mine survivors often find themselves isolated as perceived as a burden by society. FSD launched a urban gardening projet in Colombia to facilitate the socio-economic reintergration on mine victims.
Our activities
Our humanitarian programmes focus on four main areas.
Mine action
FSD locates and clears mines and unexploded ordnance, provides explosive ordnance risk education and assists survivors of accidental explosions.
Recovery & stability
FSD supports ongoing peace processes in various countries and provides socio-economic support to communities.
Environment
FSD remediates sites contaminated by toxic pollutants inherited from the past and act to promote biodiversity and resilience to face climate change.
Innovation & technology
FSD collaborates on research projects aiming to put new technologies, such as drones, at the service of mine action.
For a safer world
In 2021, FSD teams have located and neutralised 4'324 landmines and 711 unexploded or abandoned ordnance.
