In March 2020, the Mine Mark team went to Popasna to offer humanitarian assistance to traumatized children. During the visit, the Mine Mark Team distributed 400 Mine Risk Education packages and educated children in two schools.
During several lessons with pupils at schools number 1 and 21, detailed information on mine safety was provided, and various educational games were played with the children. Mine Mark’s heroes and games made a great impression on the pupils. The positive reaction of the children and the directors on Mine Mark’s playful education measures demonstrated that there is an urgent need for updated Mine Risk Education that is also tailored to the specific needs of each target group.
In April 2021, Mine Mark Team, with the assistance of our partner NGO, Voices of Children, distributed Explosive Ordnance Risk Awareness posters in Ukraine. In particular, the posters were distributed to educational facilities in Myronovsky, Novoluhanka, Svitlodarsk, Hirske, and Zolote cities. The posters were explained to the students and exposed in schools’ hallways and classrooms. Furthermore, the posters were distributed and displayed in two “safe houses”, shelters established by Voices of Children in Svitlodarks and Zaycevo.
In June 2024, Mine Mark sent 50 educational packages to Kiev. These resources enabled the education of children about the risks of landmines and other explosives. The project was done with LHSI.
In March 2025, with collobartion ofLabour and Health Social Initiatives Luhansk (LHSI) and Kharkiv Social Services, 200 posters were disributed to Kharkiv to educate children on safe behavior in landmine-contaminated areas.
