Adopt-a-Minefield was a response to the global landmine crisis where individuals and communities raised money toward demining, providing prostheses, and educating about the problem. Our “Night of a Thousand Dinners” was a citizens' initiative, in which people hosted dinners during a certain period and accept donations. For several years, the dinners were held between March 1, the date on which the Mine Ban Treaty entered into force, and April 4, the date now designated as International Day for Mine Awareness.

The Adopt-a-Minefield campaign has concluded, but nationally it raised over $25 million for mine action, cleared over 1,000 minefields, and assisted thousands of survivors.
