Young people building the future in Zambia
Dorcus Siamasusu, a 24 year-old old female stands out in Sikaneka Village, a small community in the Southern Province in Zambia’s Sinazongwe District. She has been trained by the Joint Country Programme partner Monze Diocese in advocacy and has since been elected as the Community Advocacy Volunteer for the village.
The lack of water in the Eastern desert of Bethlehem makes living conditions harsh for local Bedouin Muhammed Ali Hussein and his family. Yet, he is not interested in moving to the village.
Although Albania does not have a landmine problem anymore, there is plenty of unexploded ordnance around. DanChurchAid (DCA) has since mid-2011 been operating a "hotspot" clearance project in the country.
With 159 countries having joined the Landmine Ban Treaty sine it came into force in 1997, it can already be considered a huge success in terms of international law. But with three countries laying new landmines in 2011, it is clear that the work of ridding the world of landmines is far from over.
