The Mineseeker Foundation is a non-profit organisation, allied with the British Ministry of Defence and endorsed by the United Nations. Together, these powers have developed and tested a breakthrough technology which will revolutionise the international quest to rid the world of landmines. Mineseeker will work to detect and map landmines utilising airships and the foremost ground-penetrating radar system. The system is sponsored by Virgin Atlantic and the British Ministry of Defence and has been successfully tested in Kosov. Click here to go to the Mineseeker website.

Patrons of the Mineseeker Foundation:

Nelson Mandela [Our Founder Patron (retired 08/2008)]: “As patrons of The Mineseeker Foundation my wife Graca Machel and I take this opportunity to call upon world business leaders and statesmen to support a new technology that can hasten our quest to rid the world of landmines. I call upon you to stand hand in hand with us as we move forward to remove landmines from our planet, once and for all. I thank you.”

Queen Noor of Jordan: “I am very hopeful that this new technology will enable us to accelerate the pace of secure de-mining and so the saving of lives and restoration of precious lands and livelihoods to needy communities around the world.”

Dr Majid Alsadi: “To be part of this humanitarian undertaking that addresses a solvable problem which affects the whole world and countless people is a great honour.I am proud to stand side by side with my fellow patrons to build sustainable solutions to the landmine problem for the future of humanity.”

John Paul DeJoria: “I welcome the opportunity to be instrumental in removing millions of landmines and saving thousands of lives. I not only endorse Mineseeker but am physically involved, we invite all people to lend a helping hand as we should all participate in making the world a safer place to live for others - part of our rent for being alive.”

Dame Graca Machel: “As a Patron of the Mineseeker Foundation and on behalf of my country, I would firstly like to express my gratitude to our fellow Patrons and all of those who are associated with Mineseeker for taking the initiative in selecting Mozambique as the first country to participate in the launch of this unique landmine technology and the "Sole of Africa Campaign.”
