World Without Mines foundation has currently also ongoing projects in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in the region of Donji Vakuf. The community of Donji Vakuf in the heart of Bosnia (Central Bosnia Canton) has roughly 14'000 inhabitants. During the war, the shifting frontlines ran through the hills and villages surrounding the town. Both warring parties laid large amounts of landmines, with the purpose to secure their trenches and emplacements. Today, 8% of Donji Vakuf's lands are still mined.
It remains WwM's goal in Donji Vakuf to completely clear the community of mines. Demining projects are executed in cooperation with our local partner "Pazi Mine Vitez", a well respected local demining actor.
