2007 CAM-096 $45,197
Location: Lboek Svay Village, Svay Chek Commune, Cambodia
Donor: United Church in Canada participation in Night of A Thousand Dinners

The Lboek Svay Village, Svay Chek Commune is located in the Svay Chek District, Banteay Mean Chey Province and home to 629 people in 167 families. During the civil war (1979-1997) the village was used by the military and landmines were placed around the area to protect their installations. Since that time one person has been killed, four injured and three animals have been killed by landmines. De-mining this 51,951 square metre area will provide access to arable land and allow for the economic development of the village, especially for the ten poorest families who rely on farming for their livelihood.

2006 CAM-083 $50,922
Location: Char Thom Village, Kampong Cham Province, Cambodia
Donor: United Church in Canada participation in Night of A Thousand Dinners

The 39,810 square metre minefield is located in an area that was used as a strategic battle position during the wars from 1980-1992. This minefield has been responsible for the deaths of 27 people, and the injury of a further 7 people. In addition the minefield has caused the death of 25 domesticated animals, which greatly impaired community subsistence farming. Once the area is cleared a portion of the land will be utilized for the construction of a new school for over 600 children.
