From their website:

We work in current and former conflict zones, to reduce the threat of death and injury from remnants of conflict. These include anti-personnel and anti-vehicle landmines, as well as rockets, missiles, mortars, grenades, ammunition, small arms and light weapons, and many more types of deadly items. So we don’t just carry out plain landmine or bomb clearance – some of our projects aren’t even about landmines.

We educate people living, working and travelling through contaminated areas, to minimise the risks of them, their friends and families being killed or maimed.

MAG has worked in around 35 countries since 1989 and currently has operations in Afghanistan, Angola, Burundi, Cambodia, Chad, Colombia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Gaza, Iraq, Lao P.D.R., Lebanon, Pakistan, Puntland State of Somalia, Sri Lanka, Sudan and Vietnam.

MAG is also co-laureate of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize, awarded for our work with the International Campaign to Ban Landmines.
