Help destroy landmines and unexploded bombs before they destroy lives, with a gift in your Will.
Conflicts devastate lives, 80% of casualties from landmines and unexploded bombs in 2025 were civilians. This is not right and it is not fair. MAG take action from the start of a conflict, during a conflict and stay for decades until people are safe.
The landscape of landmines
- According to UN estimates, over 120 million landmines are in 71 countries and between 2,000,000 to 5,000,000 are planted each year.
- The UN estimates over 1 million people have died from landmines.
- Over 80% of people killed or injured by landmines and unexploded bombs are civilians. Over half of these are children.
Your Will can protect the lives of those you love and those children and adults whose future is made safe by our work clearing landmines, destroying bombs and educating communities.
Thanks to our supporters giving donations and gifts in Wills we have already reached more than 20 million women, girls, boys and men in 70 countries. Thank you. But as you can see, we have a long way to go. With your sustained help through your gift in your Will, we will get there.
What are your dreams for those following in your footsteps?
When you plan who will benefit from your inheritance, your loved ones are your focus. At MAG we understand this.
MAG wants to get to every landmine before a child does, which means that these families futures are also secured.
When we started, almost 40 years ago, it is estimated there were around a maximum of 50 armed conflicts.
Currently there are 110 conflicts worldwide - the highest since World War 2. It takes minutes to plant landmines and years to clear them. This dangerous, painstaking work is why a gift in your Will is so important.
We can’t stop wars, but we can stop people being killed by unexploded bombs and landmines. No one knows what the future holds, but with your support, we will stand strong for generations to come.

Which type of legacy gift is best for you?

The most usual legacy gifts are:
- A percentage gift, of 1% to 100% of what you are worth. Even 1% to MAG, so those closest to you inherit 99%, will be life saving
- A cash sum (which does not keep up with inflation)
- One which we receive after the second death in a marriage/partnership
Shares, life insurance or part of the remaining capital in your pension can be left. The choice is yours. -
