ANGOLA

The MgM mine clearance project Kunene (3)

Explosive detecting dogs - and their handlers - only achieve dependable results when they undergo thorough and repeated training.

EDUCATION

Ondjiva is now - after Ambriz - also the location of our Mine Dog school. Not only are explosive detecting dogs (EDDs) trained here, but simultaneously their handlers, with excellent results.

FUTURE VISION

In Kunene province there are roughly 800 kilometres of roads in and through the previous killing- fields of the cold war in Africa. These must be cleared if the province is to rebuild its infrastructure and local economy. And this is exactly what MgM intends to do - with your help.

We will report here about the way this project evolves.
