OUR MISSION

The CLMMRF facility is more than a museum.
It is also the home of an incredible family that provides education and support for dozens of at-risk, landmine-affected children rescued by the CLMMRF NGO. Many children who are part of this family have suffered overwhelming hardships. The Landmine Museum was created so that it might serve as a place of healing for bodies, hearts and minds. We believe that love, support, and education will help secure a better opportunity for the children that live here.

We build futures…
The facility contains a school, an orphanage with living facilities for up to 30 at-risk children, a medical clinic that serves as a rehabilitation center, and a training facility for landmine accident prevention and safety.
It also provides employment opportunities for several teachers and local Khmers who play an important part in the Landmine Museum family. Moreover, it is a place for action, serving as a launching pad for humanitarian and landmine relief initiatives.

…and remember the past.
The Landmine Museum illustrates a valuable historical lesson. It is a grim warning for us all regarding the terrible consequences of war. As such, it has become one of the most important cultural heritage sites in the world.
It has been estimated that as many as 10 million landmines were deployed across Cambodia over the span of two decades of fighting. Many mines have been removed by various de-mining organizations, but it is still widely assumed that there are millions still scattered across Cambodia’s countryside. Landmines and UXO’s (un-exploded ordnance) will continue to be a problem until they are all removed. Until that day we will be here to help.

The CLMMRF is registered as a NGO non-for-profit organization with both the Canadian and Cambodian Governments and serves to provide financial legitimacy for the Landmine Museum. The CLMMRF NGO was created to serve two distinct functions that deal with specific charitable initiatives. These are outlined in the CLMMRF’s by-laws, and letters patent. The goals of the CLMMRF are:

•  To establish a land mine museum in Cambodia for the purpose of providing land mine accident prevention awareness and public education.

•  To provide educational facilities, programming and rehabilitation facilities for survivors of land mine injury.

The CLMMRF is able to fund projects with grants from organizations like The Cottonwood Foundation (USA) and The Tides Foundation (USA), as well as from official website solicitation. www.cambodialandminemuseum.org
