Adopt-A-Minefield (Canada), was established as a partnership between the United Nations Association of the USA and the Canadian Landmine Foundation in June 2000. Since then, they have engaged thousands of individuals, organizations, businesses and the government of Canada in their fundraising efforts. Their efforts have resulted in over 30 minefield adoptions and have furthered awareness of the landmine problem throughout Canada. AAM (Canada) established the Night of A Thousand Dinners initiative to engage citizens around the world by participating in the most common global activity, eating. AAM (Canada) has also developed a number of additional innovative activities including the Peacekeepers Demining Fund campaign and the Canine Demine program. Their most successful development activity to date has been global outreach to service clubs such as Rotary and Kiwanis.
Adopt-A-Minefield is a program of the United Nations Association
of the USA in partnership with the Better World Fund, the United Nations, the U.S. State
Department and other leading mine action organizations around the world.
