Once the mines are gone, there is an explosion in development
A total of 30 years of war and conflict have left an estimated 3 to 4 million mines, cluster munitions and other explosive remnants of war in Cambodia. Switzerland is supporting the HALO Trust with CHF 4 million for mine clearance. Humanitarian demining makes entire areas safe and habitable again. It enables farmers to re-enter their land and use it for agricultural purposes.
