Nicaragua $100,000 USD/ $147,017 CAD
The Foundation's first demining project occurred in Nicaragua with project coordination through the Organization of American States (OAS). The project focused on the bridges along the main highway from Juigalpa to El Rama in the Matagalapa area. These mines were previously mapped in an adjacent field but were relocated by Hurricane Mitch in 1998.

Bethlehem/ Husan $34,591
The minefield is located in the small town of Husan just south west of Bethlehem. The affected area is a residential one and stretches over 3-4 acres and is surrounded by about 12 dunes. The Mayor of the village made an official request to the Canadian Permanent mission in Ramalha for help with the clearance efforts. The project was brought to the attention of the Foundation through Canada's Mine Action Ambassador. Mines Advisory Group-UK undertook an assessment mission and produced a report.

OAS Victim Assistance $13,070
The OAS "Care Program for Victims of Mines and Unexploded Ordinance" provides assistance to landmine victims in the form of prostheses, therapy, medications, transportation from their communities to the rehabilitation centre, lodging and food.
