A Deminer’s Day, Hour by Hour
At 6 a.m., FSD’s deminers in Iraq head to the areas marked for clearance. With detectors in hand, they move methodically, following strict procedures and scanning each square metre of land multiple times—working to return safe, usable ground to local communities.
From Bombs to Blooms: Growing Life, One Seed at a Time
FSD clears explosive remnants of war so life can return to conflict-affected communities. With our Bombs to Blooms campaign, you can grow flowers at home using seed bombs — a small, symbolic act that mirrors the work we do in the field.
Tajikistan: Two Villages Come Back to Life
In Shurob and Chorkuh, on the Kyrgyz border, over 80,000 square metres of land have already been cleared by FSD teams, enabling residents to rebuild infrastructure, cultivate their land, and safely resume their daily activities.
For a safer world
Fields once littered with remnants of war now provide food, children can play without fear, and communities are rebuilding—discover our work.
