MgM - Menschen gegen Minen

People against Landmines

Global Mine Problem

Mine production is still a very profitable business where massive sums of money can be earned. Many states worldwide, including Germany, are still producing mines.

Manual Demining

Since 1996 we are clearing land mines in especially dangerous areas of the world and help the threatened people to return to a normal life.

Kuando Kubango

Presently MgM is clearing land mines in Kuando Kubango to guarantee a land mine free area for the development of the biggest national park of the world.

Mine Awareness

Just as important as the direct clearance of mine invested areas is the education about the dangers of mines especially at schools.

15 years of MgM work

For 15 years we have tirelessly been operational in southern Africa conducting humanitarian demining work, to grant people living in conflict areas a safer life and a human future.

KAZA-Park

One of the largest nature conservation areas is developing in Africa.

We have already repeatedly informed about our efforts to demine the heavily mined, huge area of Kuando Kubango in Angola’s southeast. In October 2010 we finally received the necessary funding from the EU, probably also motivated by the recent planning of the KAZA Park, the largest nature conservation park worldwide, whose development is being followed with great social and political interest.

Report: 25 years of Civil War in Angola

25 years of civil war leave behind a shattered nation

Until today, nearly 10 years after the end of the war, Angola is still suffering the consequences of the dreadful civil war. Many traumatised people, including former child warriors and rape victims have to find a way into modern life. It is estimated that some hundred thousand people have to life with mutilations from landmines – nobody knows the exact number.
