CANADIAN LANDMINE FOUNDATION
Project funds transferred in 2003-2004

MOZ-023 $49,290 Night of a Thousand Dinners and CIDA
A 20,000 m2 minefield in Mavila, Zavala, Inhambane, Mozambique. This minefield is located very close to the centre of a busy town with bus stops, markets and other commercial areas close by. More than 1000 families live in this town and are at risk regularly.

MOZ-028 $36,968 Night of a Thousand Dinners and CIDA
A 15,000 m2 minefield in Mulir, Mecanhelas, Niassa, Mozambique. During the war, FRELIMO laid mines to protect their military positions from RENAMO attack. Local families are currently using 100% of the area surrounding the marked field for subsistence farming and there is great pressure for additional land. As locals have tried to expand the cultivated area, they have found mines, fortunately with no casualties. Clearing this area would benefit local families and would also allow the railroad to opened up improving infrastructure for the entire country.

CRO-055 $65,720 Night of a Thousand Dinners and CIDA
A 25,000 m2 minefield in Lipje village, Karlovac, Karlovac County, Croatia. This area includes several foot paths and an access lane to the river Kupa. Other contaminated areas include fields and an area next to the village and near the river bank. Demining this area will enable local residents to reach the river safely to extract gravel necessary for use in construction. Vegetation near the bank of the Kupa river and along the drainage canals is dense (willow and poplar trees as well as reeds and bushes), while the rest of the area is covered with grass and reed.

VTM-SA-CP16 $15,500 Night of a Thousand Dinners and CIDA
A Survivor Assistance Program in Quang Tri Province, Vietnam. Clear Path International will provide landmine survivor services to a total of 61 landmine survivors and their families. Services include: post trauma medical services, emergency outreach services, including family bereavement grants, children's scholarships, home improvement grants and vocational training.

CAM-SA-VV4 $15,500 Night of a Thousand Dinners and CIDA
A survivor Assistance Program in Cambodia. Vietnam Veterans Foundation of America will provide support to landmine survivors and other disabled people through one of four rehabilitation centres throughout Cambodia. VVAF will apply the funds where there is the most immediate need. Support services include the production and distribution of mobility devices, medical and rehabilitation services, assistance to help disabled children attend school, a sports reintegration program and income-generation projects for the families of disabled individuals.
