Commissioned Work: The HALO Trust: Angola: HALO_009

May 4, 2018: KANENGUERERE, ANGOLA - HALO deminers Ana Bimbi Dumbo and Esperança Ngando get out of their work clothes after the end of the work day. These deminers are working under extremely difficult circumstances in Kanenguerere. Not only is extremely hot - with snakes and scorpions common - but much of the mined area is on the side of an extremely steep hill, making every step dangerous. The area was mined during the civil war by government forces to protect the nearby railway line that can be seen in the background, as well as various troop positions. It is currently used by roughly 170 people including village residents and nomadic herders - many of whom are young children - who pass through uncleared land every day.
