The Foundation's investment is the single largest philanthropic donation in support of humanitarian landmine clearance in Ukraine.

Key Points: 
  • The Foundation's investment is the single largest philanthropic donation in support of humanitarian landmine clearance in Ukraine.
  • The combined impact of these measures will help to accelerate progress with clearance across the most heavily mined areas of Ukraine.
  • Technology funded by the Howard G. Buffett Foundation will play a key role in this process.
  • The Foundation's investment is provided across three grants, one of which is focused on establishing HALO's Ukraine programme as a centre for innovation in mechanical landmine clearance.
