Every day in Mozambique, 10 people are killed or maimed by landmines. To date, more than 120,000 people have become victims of this legacy of Mozambique's civil war. With an estimated two million mines still buried around roads, bridges, water sources and villages, people are at risk every day.

Some 300 Mozambican Red Cross youth volunteers are teaching people how to live safely in these dangerous zones. Organized into groups, they spread information on mines, collect data on suspected mine areas, and provide first aid to victims and support to accident survivors.

Using theatre, reading and discussion groups, the youth volunteers inform local people about the dangers of mines. They also help erect billboards around mined land and distribute leaflets and posters. The project aims to reach 200,000 inhabitants in the worst-affected areas.
