Nearly 40,000 people in Cambodia have been injured by landmines since 1979, when an estimated 4-6 million unexplored landmines were planted during conflicts.

In Cambodia, areas remain mined for years after conflicts, threatening lives and preventing economic development. Several organizations like the Cambodia Mine Action and Victim Assistance Authority, Mines Advisory Group, and The Halo Trust have worked to clear mines from over 66 square kilometers between 1993 and 1999, clearing faster each year. Aki Ra, a former child soldier, began clearing mines in 1995 and has removed over 50,000 mines to help his community.
