Leas

She clears land mines in Cambodia, in honor of her father.

Meet Leas.

Her mother died when she was young, and her father lost his leg to a land mine during the Cambodian Civil War in the early 90s.

Leas, 20, is the oldest child in her family and is also the sole breadwinner. Every day, as Leas works in the minefield, her father brings her lunch. He is very proud of his daughter.

People who lived in mine-affected villages are proud of Leas’ work, too.

One mom, Jay, told The HALO Trust about her tragedy:

De-mining is now complete in one man’s village. The man, named Touch, lives in a village in northern Cambodia.

The HALO Trust turned to GlobalGiving to raise money to recruit and train de-miners like Leas. The nonprofit met its crowdfunding goal of $25,000 thanks to supporters like you!
