Mine Risk Education Project for Children (2000)

To help protect young people from the dangers posed by landmines and UXO, the Ministry of Education, Youth, and Sports and World Education developed and implemented the Mine Risk Education Project for Children. Funded primarily through UNICEF, the two and a half year long project trained teachers and school administrators living in the most affected districts to plan and carry out activity-based mine risk education programs for school children, and organize community-based mine awareness activities, with a particular focus on out-of-school youth.
