Every day, children play in areas contaminated by landmines. Farmers work land still hiding explosive remnants of war. In over 60 countries, landmines and explosive ordnance continue to kill, injure, and keep families living in fear. Like the “Bombs to Blooms” campaign, humanitarian mine clearance allows life to return and fields to flourish again.
Our “Bombs to Blooms” campaign is a simple, symbolic way to raise awareness about this often-forgotten reality. Because mine action doesn’t only happen in the field with a metal detector – it also depends on awareness, remembrance, and public engagement.
Get involved: make your own seed bombs, order pre-made ones ready to plant, or contact us to receive awareness-raising materials. Together, let’s sow life where fear once took root.
Making seed bombs at home is easy, fun, and meaningful. All you need is some soil, clay, and the seeds of your choice. Follow our instructions, share your creations online using the hashtag #FromBombsToBlooms, and help spread the message!
Order edible flower seed bombs packaged in a small cotton pouch by our partner Gorilla Gardening. For each purchase, CHF 3 is donated to FSD’s humanitarian demining operations. These edible flowers are perfect for adding a colourful touch to your salads—while supporting a good cause.
Join our team of volunteers and help raise awareness about mine action and FSD’s work. Whether at events, on information stands or through presentations, give a few hours of your time each year — or more — to support our mission.
Discover our humanitarian operations through field videos, media reports, and our interactive series “Where’s the Mine?” — another way to understand our mission!
