TechVenture Solutions is proud to support MAG – Mines Advisory Group, Manchester. MAG is a neutral humanitarian organisation that clears the remnants of conflict and warefare for the benefit of communities worldwide.

THE PROBLEM.
Somewhere outside your front door there is a powerful explosive weapon waiting for you. It is hidden from view, avoiding it is a constant game of chance. There could be one or there could be one hundred. You don’t know and neither does anyone else.

How do you stop people going about their normal lives? How can you ask your children not to play: not to run and chase each other; not to kick a football?

You can’t. As a result dozens of people will die or suffer horrific injuries every day. Land mines, grenades, missiles and cluster bombs do not discriminate between soldiers or civilians, between men, women or children playing. Every day millions of people live with this fear.

THE SOLUTION.
Based in Manchester, the Mines Advisory Group (MAG) is a global organisation with a compelling mission. They work every day to solve that problem and reduce that fear – and every day they do, fewer people die or suffer those horrific injuries.

This work is not simply a humanitarian mission. It is a fundamental prerequisite to the economic regeneration of any stricken area.

Whilst other charitable organisations can ameliorate the conditions associated with conflict in affected countries, sustainable post–conflict development is simply not possible until MAG have done their work.

Consequently, there is a clear correlation between the work undertaken by MAG and the ability of a region to become economically viable and to re-engage in commercial activity and wealth creation.

MAG is the only major international charity founded and operating from a head office in the North West. It is the number one organization of its kind in the world and with brand credentials which include the award of the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997, well positioned to augment the brand of any partner organization.
