CISR
This headline is brought to you by the Center for International Stabilization and Recovery (CISR) which works to support resilience and recovery in global communities affected by war and conflict.
(MAG) In 2024, MAG’s community liaison teams in Ukraine delivered over 4,000 risk education sessions, reaching 36,000 individuals, including 1,000 school sessions for children aged 6–16. Operating in Mykolaiv and Kharkiv regions, heavily affected by the 2022 conflict, MAG teams raise awareness about explosive ordnance risks through door-to-door visits and school programs. The conflict’s extensive use of landmines and damage to infrastructure has made their work essential for safety and resilience.
Team leader Elmira highlights the profound human impact of their efforts, providing hope and connection to those recovering from occupation and loss. MAG has expanded outreach via social media, traditional media, and child-friendly content, reaching millions. These initiatives remain vital as MAG continues its life-saving mission in Ukraine into 2025.
