Searching an 80-year-old jungle trail for Japanese bombs

On Guadalcanal, HALO's Solomon Islands team is uncovering hidden dangers from a route known as the 'road of white bones'.

Our mission is to protect lives and restore the livelihoods of those affected by conflict

What we do

Clearing explosives

We clear landmines and other explosives to make land safe so communities can return home, rebuild livelihoods and live without fear after conflict.

Securing weapons

We gather and destroy weapons and ammunition left behind after conflict that could otherwise end up in the wrong hands.

Teaching safety

We deliver life-saving risk education in conflict zones, teaching communities to recognise dangers, avoid explosives and stay safe until hazards are cleared.
