Since 1992, we have cleared 1 billion square metres of land and removed 2 million landmines and explosives in 40 countries.
WHAT WE DO
NPA's aim is to reduce and prevent harm from the impacts of weapons and ammunition. We cover the full life-cycle of weapons and ammunitions – with interventions to protect civilians before, during and after conflict.
Conflict Preparedness and Protection
We educate children and adults in preparation for war and conflict.

Women can clear mines too
In Iraq, many female deminers meet resistance from family, friends and male colleagues.
