The United States Ambassador on Restoration Laos

Preparing for Emergency Response in 2025

Some bombs don’t wait to be found by experts. Imagine an anti-personnel bomb found in your children’s playground: nothing good can happen until that bomb is gone. Ordinary Lao people regularly find bombs in their farms, homes and villages. A plow or a child, a bamboo shoot or a rainstorm unearths the bomb, whose movement-triggered mechanism is now poised to arm. Lao people die every year this way, and the bombs are a source of terror. 


There’s a pressing need for rapid response to these emergencies. Starting in April, Restoration Laos will make that happen in one of the most contaminated, hardest-to-reach parts of Laos. Working again with our expert operating partners at Mines Advisory Group, our new team will scramble when the phone rings. Whether it’s a village chief, or a farmer, or a rural school principal, our team will be ready to turn on the flashing lights and say, “don’t worry—we’re on our way.” The team will cost about $115,000 a year to operate, and we’re committed to that funding. 


We'll share more on this page as details are finalized!

From the Vientiane Times, September 2, 2024

Restoration Laos is currently helping to clear 125 acres of land from Vietnam War era bombs, restoring safety, dignity and prosperity to villagers and subsistence farmers in remote rural Laos. Thank you to our operating partners at Mines Advisory Group, which manages our team of dedicated bomb finders, and to the Freeman Foundation which joins us in supporting this ongoing mission!
