RENEW's 20 Years
of Impact
To make the most bombed place on earth safe again.
Since the war’s end in 1975, wartime bombs have killed or injured over 105,000 people in Vietnam; a third of them were children.
Since 2001, RENEW and its NGO partners have produced real results for Quang Tri:
815,952 explosive items destroyed
But that’s still less than half of what is estimated to remain.
207,158,581 square meters of land cleared
We prioritize known battlefields.
13,950 emergency calls answered
We expect calls for emergency help to increase.
378,685 children in educational sessions on UXO dangers
Every year, a new group of children counts on us.
Data from Quang Tri Mine Action Center as of 1Q 2024. Calls are on emergency hotlines.
But, the job to eliminate the threat of wartime bombs is far from done.
Only with your help can we make Vietnam safe.
RENEW fields Vietnam's only all-women bomb clearance team.
Help RENEW expand operations into nearby Quang Ngai Province.
You can donate here.
Quang Ngai is where the My Lai Massacre took place 54 years ago. It is unconscionable that farmers and children in Quang Ngai remain at risk of being maimed and killed by tens of thousands of bombs and landmines that still litter the countryside. When we raise $100,000, RENEW will be able to establish operations in Quang Ngai and soon begin to clear these unexploded ordnance.
You can put them to work saving lives. Read why we need this team.

RENEW's Mission
We can put to good use your financial support, your time, and connections. We just need you to say YES.
RENEW is a unique mine action organization addressing all aspects of the legacies of war:
explosives survey and clearance
mine risk education
mine victim assistance
in a coordinated program of action, a model that exists, so far, only in the most bombed place on earth, Quang Tri Province.
RENEW is made up of two independent parts. Project RENEW, which carries out all of RENEW's mine action and humanitarian work in Vietnam, and Friends of Project RENEW, Inc.
Friends of Project RENEW, Inc. is an independent U.S. 501(c)(3) charitable organization that works closely with Project RENEW to advance its mission.
