PeaceTrees Vietnam is a humanitarian demining organization dedicated to peacebuilding and addressing the legacy of war in Vietnam. Since their founding in 1995, PeaceTrees has removed more than 110,000 items of explosive ordnance, cleared over 3,000 acres of land, built 19 kindergartens, and supported 2,776 students on their academic journeys. Working alongside communities in central Vietnam, PeaceTrees returns land to productive use by investing in risk education, community building, agriculture, and economic development projects. There is still much work to be done, and they hope to be supported in their determined journey to clear Vietnam of explosive ordnance so that the communities we support can pursue every opportunity they desire and deserve on safely cleared land.
