The Manchester based Global Landmine clearing Charity the Mines Advisory Group has received the 2025 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize, making it just the fourth British organisation to be awarded the Prize in its 30 year history.
“Through its extraordinary efforts to help communities return to safety and prosperity after conflict, the Mines Advisory Group exemplifies the kind of humanitarian excellence our Prize has sought to celebrate and inspire over the last three decades,”
said Peter Laugharn, president and CEO of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.
“The selection of the Mines Advisory Group as this year’s Hilton Humanitarian Prize recipient serves as a reminder that compassion and peace should still be at the top of our global agenda.”
MAG CEO Darren Cormack added: “For 35 years, MAG has stood resolute in its mission to respond to the urgent needs of people in communities ravaged by conflict and in places still grappling with conflict’s legacy, long after the wars have ended.
We’re honoured to receive the Hilton Humanitarian Prize in recognition of the tireless and courageous work of our global staff. Our hope is that this spotlight can help underscore the fundamental human right to live free from the fear of landmines and armed violence. Every landmine cleared is a life saved, a community restored, and a future reclaimed.”
