Loss of Loved Ones to Landmines
Africa is the most heavily mined continent in the world with at least 40 million landmines. Over half of Africa is affected and 140 million people live in countries where the risk of being killed or injured by landmines can be considered high or very high. Many areas of Africa still have minefields dating back to World War II.
In Africa, landmines kill, injure and disable over 12,000 people per year.
Mike Kendrick of Mineseeker shares in this video the story of a mother who lost her children to one of these landmines while they were on their way to school within their own village.
