ABOUT LANDMINE DESIGN

Landmine Design empowers the women of The Minefield Village, situated within the border of Thailand and Cambodia. This village is located in what was once the most concentrated area of landmines in the world. Today, the area contends as one of the most human trafficked borders on the globe and Landmine Design wants to restore the lives and hope of over 500 families squatted on the land where no one wanted. They believe women can break the cycle of human trafficking and poverty in this area if they are equipped with the right skills to do so. By teaching the women how to handcraft jewellery, Landmine Design has avoided young women and mothers leaving their homes to be subjected to vulnerable situations. Instead, their artisans achieve economic opportunities and education at the village, where jewellery making transforms their lives.
