It showed Princess Diana’s passion and commitment to the cause of saving communities and saving lives.

Angola is well known for some of the world’s most important remaining wilderness. The presence of live landmines is making the area an unsafe and highly risky place for the locals. One of the developmental projects is to sustain the development and encourage conservation while developing.

Harry’s first overview of this active landmines was in 2013 during the Halo Trust program. He was able to get a first-hand experience of the destructive impact of the landmines in the area. Prince Harry had been involved in the development of African countries since his very first visit to the continent sometimes in 1997.
