Mine production is still a very profitable business where massive sums of money can be earned. Many states worldwide, including Germany, are still producing mines.

Since 1996 we are clearing land mines in especially dangerous areas of the world and help the threatened people to return to a normal life.

Presently MgM is clearing land mines in Kuando Kubango to guarantee a land mine free area for the development of the biggest national park of the world.

Just as important as the direct clearance of mine invested areas is the education about the dangers of mines especially at schools.

Interview with Angola national manager Haller Da Silva

Interview with director of operations Ken O‘Connell

I: Mr O’Connell you are the project leader and demining coordinator of MgM in Angola. What kind of a job is that?

Ken: It is of course a very exciting job; every day is challenging and bears a certain occupational hazard, even though, apart from one incident, nothing has ever happened so far. Nonetheless one has to be aware that a small mistake during the demining work can cost one’s own live and that of fellow workers.
