With an estimated 100 million landmines hidden in the ground around the world this global crisis sees an innocent civilian killed or injured every 30 minutes of every day. One third of these are children. Yet is costs just £1 to clear a square metre of mine-contaminated land. This auction really could mean the difference between life and death.
So why not put your money where your feet are, raise money for charity…and start bidding NOW!
