We team with local experts to document the historical and present-day effects of legacy weapons on communities around the world.
We are completely independent. We rely on donations to continue projects in communities affected by ERWs, and to campaign for the eradication of landmines, cluster munitions, nuclear weapons and lethal autonomous weapons.
We focus on preventing harm caused by weapons through promoting international treaties and ground work in countries and communities affected by unexploded ordinance.
SafeGround depends on donations and grants to continue its mandate to empower communities affected by ERWs through research and educational programs, and to campaign for the eradication of landmines, cluster munitions, nuclear weapons and lethal autonomous weapons.

In 2023 we met with Maeverlyn Pitannoe, a professional educator. In 2021, she survived a WW2 bomb blast while cooking. She has enormous passion to prevent bomb accidents and to help her community heal after these traumas.
SafeGround has decades of experience in risk education and has also worked on PTSD and trauma intervention.
For more than 30 years SafeGround has engaged and worked with people and communities affected by war and conflict. Since the early 1990s we have actively supported and participated in the universalisation of the Mine Ban Treaty and Convention on Cluster Munitions. We are now working on the campaigning to stop lethal autonomous weapons.
As a member of the International Campaign to Ban Landmines we are co-recipients of the 1997 Nobel Peace Prize.
