In other attempt of our aim to save lives, we decided to make an app that raises the awareness of people about the danger of landmines by giving them information, photos, videos and the best practices to act with landmines to help them avoid their danger, as civilian people and children would not be able to protect themselves of the landmines danger if they don\'t know how landmines look like or how to deal with strange things like UXO, Raising the awareness may be an effective tool to protect people from landmines danger!
We tried to collect a lot of information from many resources, simplify and expose them in an easy, brief, and effective way that can be understood to everyone, we added illustrations for the best practices, we designed awareness game that can help people correct some of the wrong information that they may have about landmines and UXO.
We are trying to use some of the most powerful tools of smart phones, like google maps, to provide maps for the infected areas, GPS service can be used to detect the users location and send them warnings or notifications when they get close to areas that may not be safe or contain minefields.
Reporting landmines or UXO in an easy way, with a click of a button, is a key feature in the app, it helps in reporting any new mined areas which allowing us to warn people, it also helps the relevant authorities to determine the location of those mined areas to clear them, that may help to protect lives and speeds up the process of clearing the land from landmines and remnants of war.
The app provides an interactive platform through its pages on Facebook , Twitter , Facebook Group , WhatsApp Group where a lot of information is published such as: awareness information, warnings about danger areas, new types of used mines and improvised explosive devices, opinion polls to measure awareness, statistics, international reports, and a library of photos and videos for documentation. The interactive platform helps people communicate and exchange information about their areas, inquire and request information, or discuss any issues related to the danger of mines and remnants of war.
