🎉 Delighted to announce that we have been commended for 'Culture Initiative of the Year' at the @BritishHRAwards 2024! A proud moment for the whole team who continue to build a workplace culture that values and supports all our incredible staff.🏆

Following the devastating flash floods that hit Maidan Wardak & Kabul provinces in #Afghanistan, we're supporting those in need- delivering essential food & water supplies, destroying explosives unearthed by the water & using our minefield excavators to clear blocked roads.

The breach in the #NovaKakhovka dam is flooding minefields and dislodging #landmines in #Ukraine. In an area where HALO cleared 5,000 mines last month.

🎧 New #Podcast episode! Earthquakes and Other Emergencies: JJ Chalmers speaks to HALO's #Syria programme manager Damian, who was caught up in the Turkish-Syria earthquake. His tale of survival is remarkable. Listen on your favourite podcast app ➡️ bit.ly/4283GTB

Our friend @JJChalmersRM visited our teams in Ukraine last week. Watch him talk about it on The One Show tonight BBC 1 at 7pm.

No two days working as a Field Officer are ever the same. Life is rarely dull, but working for HALO can be tough. If you want to make a difference to people's lives, this could be the job for you. #job #recruitment #hiring

By the numbers via @reliefweb: In 20 years HALO has cleared the equivalent of 6,700 cricket pitches of 270,000 mines in Sri Lanka so that 280,000 people have been able to return home. bit.ly/3ZAntuN

We focus on the impact our mine clearance has in #Angola and we talk to people to ensure we are helping them. Augusto Aurélio from Cuemba, Bié told us: "I have a lot of land to cultivate and more cassava to harvest. Thank you, keep on saving lives.” Our thanks to @StateDeptPM🇺🇸

We were delighted to host an event at @Radix_UK London Summit with @CamilleWallen. We discussed the need to secure long term and sustained funding for #Ukraine to help with the scale of reconstruction required in the country. @CalumCraig01 @RestiImpact @BlackerUilleam

In #SriLanka HALO has been celebrating 20 years of making their land safe with games and prizes. Programme manager Stephen Hall said: "I am humbled that so many of our staff have been with HALO since the start, working tirelessly to make their communities safe.” #MineFreeWorld

This little boy is from a displaced family in the village of Msmna, Nagorno Karabakh. The village was targeted in the 2020 war and cluster munitions still pose a threat to people. We have been conducting door-to-door risk education about the dangers of explosive debris.

We’re delighted that Susan Sarandon has joined The HALO Trust as an ambassador to help raise the profile of our clearance work in conflict zones, including Ukraine. She said: “The war in Ukraine and other forgotten conflicts have made HALO's work even more urgent and essential.”

"I heard the sound of an explosion and my wife's scream." Serhii's story makes clear why our work in Ukraine is so very vital. Read it here: bit.ly/3WxMWmU

Landmine detectors lined up at HALO's training base in Ukraine. We're training hundreds of new Ukrainian recruits who want to make their own country safe.

In 3 agricultural fields in Ukraine, we found anti-tank mines. Now we've made these fields safe in Brovary and farmers can use their fields again without fear and will grow sunflowers, corn and rapeseed. Thank you @GermanyDiplo @FCDOGovUK @StateDeptPM @CanadaFP @NorwayMFA
