       Make a global difference by supporting our efforts to rid the world of UXO contamination. 

UXO is an explosive weapon (bombs, shells, grenades, landmines, naval and cluster mines, etc.) that did not explode when deployed and therefore still pose a detonation risk years, even decades, later.  The United Nations estimates there are over one hundred million UXO remaining worldwide. 

Surviving far longer than their combatants, the physical remnants of war will continually claim the lives of innocent victims; those born years, even decades after the battles have ended.

 

Every year, UXO kill 15,000 to 20,000 people — most of them children, women and the elderly — and severely maim countless more. Scattered in some 90 countries, UXO are an ongoing reminder of conflicts past.

Vietnam - Since 1975 more than 100,000 Vietnamese have been affected (42,132 killed, 62,163 wounded) by land mines or other abandoned explosives since the war ended 40 years ago.

UXO do not discriminate; they kill or injure civilians, aid workers, peacekeepers, animals and soldiers alike.
