PUPILS AT CHISANG SCHOOL IN CAMBODIA

The area surrounding the small village of Chisang in Battambang was of strategic military importance during conflicts involving the Khmer Rouge, the Cambodian Government and Vietnamese troops over three different periods of fighting between 1979 and 1996. 

Landmines laid during that time and other remnants of those conflicts still affect the villagers today. 

MAG’s teams have now cleared more than 1,000 dangerous explosive items and released 470,000 square metres of land, which is now safe to farm and develop. 

The future’s looking brighter for the villagers of Chisang.
