Diana's Landmine Legacy

Dear Joseph,

When Diana, Princess of Wales, walked through a minefield in Angola in 1997 she changed the world.

That's why we are thrilled that His Royal Highness Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, will make a historic visit to Angola on September 26 and 27.

The Duke's support will help us draw global attention to the need to finish the job his mother started - to rid the world of landmines.

We look forward to sharing this historic visit with you,

Your friends at HALO

“A SCAR OF WAR”

Today Prince Harry camped by one of Africa’s great rivers, visited a remote minefield being cleared by HALO in southern Angola and walked in his mother’s footsteps to highlight the connection between humanitarian mine clearance, development and conservation.

In the second stage of his visit he stood on the spot where his mother Diana, Princess of Wales, walked in a HALO minefield in 1997 and energised the global campaign to ban landmines.

He said: “Landmines are an unhealed scar of war. By clearing the landmines, we can help this community find peace. We can protect the diverse and unique wildlife that relies on the beautiful Cuito River I slept beside last night.”

The Prince was visiting Angola as part of his African Royal Tour. He camped with HALO a few miles from the small town of Dirico and visited the first minefield to begin clearance under a new project in partnership with the Angolan Government.

Dear Joseph,

Mr Mafunga lives in the village of Musanzikwa, Zimbabwe.

He’s head of Kaitano Primary School, attended by 620 pupils. But Musanzikwa is trapped by two minefields. Every day children walk between the landmines just to get to class.

“The landmines are destroying human life. We have to guard

our children when they are playing.”

– Mr Mafunga

The villagers need to take their cattle to the borehole to drink. But the only route is through the minefield. Families are desperate to farm their land and feed hungry mouths. But the best land is cut off by the landmines.

What would you do if you were trapped in a one-mile radius? Your children’s school, your work or doctor impossible to reach without crossing a deadly minefield.

We are launching our 'Breaking Boundaries' appeal to clear the minefields that threaten thousands of villagers in north east Zimbabwe. You can destroy the landmines and break boundaries so that the people in villages like Musanzikwa can thrive, not just survive.

Every pound you donate before 22nd December 2019 will be doubled by the UK government

Let’s break boundaries together.

Dear Joseph,

Every day in Zimbabwe, Willard walks his cattle on a narrow path through the landmines to the borehole to drink.

It’s a dangerous journey.

“In February this year we lost a bull. It wandered from the track and was blown up.”

That’s the third cow he’s lost to the landmines in the last eighteen months. Each animal killed leaves Willard’s family struggling to survive.

“I was looking forward to keeping those cows, and selling them so I could put my grandkids through school.”

By donating to our Breaking Boundaries appeal you can clear the landmines that threaten Musanzikwa village and ensure Willard can provide for the future.

Give before 22nd December and your donation will be doubled by the UK government >>

Together we can Break Boundaries.

Hello Joseph,

Every child has the right to grow up safely and realise their potential. But in Zimbabwe, and across the world, landmines threaten not only children’s dreams but their lives. Every day.

Respect from Musanzikwa village is fifteen years old. He is one of the pupils who must cross the minefield each day to attend Mr Mafunga’s school.

As the oldest he feels responsible for keeping everyone safe.

Respect’s favourite subject is Shona because he loves learning traditional proverbs. He shouldn’t have to risk his life to get an education.

You can clear the landmines that surround Musanzikwa village so Respect and his friends can walk to school without fear of being killed or injured. Just £10 will help clear a safe path to school >>

Thank you,

Dear Joseph,

On Giving Tuesday we want to thank you for a very special gift—the gift of independence.

Landmines cause life-changing injuries that rob people of their independence. Six years ago, Soy Kossal's leg was amputated when he stood on a landmine near his home in Veal Roloem, Cambodia, At just 28 years old he thought his life was over.

But his wife, Kolab, who was already working for HALO as a deminer, had other ideas. She thought there was a bright future for Soy Kossal at HALO and so did we.

Across the world we employ over 8,500 local people, many of whom have suffered, or witnessed, the devastating impact of landmines. Thanks to you, we are able to provide training and a living wage, giving men and women like Soy Kossal the opportunity to build a secure future.

Thank you!

Hello Joseph,

You might not think you have much in common with Kadonzva from Zimbabwe, but he wants the things we all want. He wants to feed his family and live in safety. His community moved to Musanzikwa village in Zimbabwe for good farmland but the minefields surrounding the village mean they are struggling to survive.

You wouldn't want to choose between farming fields littered with landmines, or your children going hungry. You would never even imagine your children having to walk to school through a minefield. 

But in Musanzikwa, landmines stop families accessing many of the essentials of life >>

This Christmas, please donate to our Breaking Boundaries appeal so we can clear the minefields that surround villages like Musanzikwa.

A gift of just £3 will destroy a landmine— for good >>

Thank you,

Hello Joseph,

You can make Willard's dream a reality. This Christmas, give a gift that lasts a life-time by donating to our Breaking Boundaries appeal.

Once a landmine is destroyed, it's gone for good. The safe land can then be used to grow crops to feed hungry families.The village borehole will no longer be cut off by landmines and local children will no longer have to walk a dangerous path to school through the minefield.

With just 6 days left of our Aid Match appeal, join with us to create a safer future for Willard and the villagers of Musanzikwa. Every pound you donate before 22nd December will be doubled by the UK government >>

Hello Joseph,

2019 has been a momentous year for HALO and we want to thank you for sharing the journey with us. 

When Prince Harry made his historic visit to our Angola programme he said:

“Landmines are an unhealed scar of war. By clearing the landmines, we can help this community find peace."

Your support has made this a reality for over one million people this year alone. Families, locked out by the landmines, have been able to return home, minefields have become fields of crops and children can now walk to school safely.

This was only possible because of you. Thank you for joining with us to create a safer future.

With warmest wishes for a very happy Christmas,

Your friends at HALO

Hello Joseph,

As a supporter of HALO, we want to give you an exclusive preview of JJ Chalmers' film about our work on the frontline in Ukraine.

JJ Chalmers knows only too well the lethal threat left behind by the debris of war. In 2011, he was injured by an IED while on tour with the Royal Marines in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

Last year, the Invictus Games gold medallist and TV presenter filmed a documentary as he visited HALO’s programme in Ukraine and met families caught in the crossfire of this ongoing conflict.

Be the first to watch the film >>

Hello Joseph,

Rosa teaches at the Sekyi School in Colombia. Her school is special. It helps preserve the traditions of the Nasa people—an indigenous community who have lived in the area for centuries.

But Rosa was terrified for the safety of her young pupils. Often, they would come to school wearing little necklaces made from bullets and cartridges. Not realising the danger, the children were collecting the explosive debris they found scattered across the land—a legacy of Colombia's years of conflict.

Read on to discover the life-saving lessons HALO is teaching in Colombia to keep Rosa's pupils safe >>
