Since mine victims deserve another chance to regain a proper self-image and emerge as productive members in the society, LMAC often realizes the essence of supporting mine victims to ensure speedy recovery from their injuries and successful new start of their life.
It takes some minutes for a mine to bomb and produce a huge explosion but what about the impact of the incident?
This is a great tragedy, losing a limb or another form of permanent disability is a catastrophic consequence of a mine explosion.
