If they survive the initial trauma, only 10% of landmine survivors have access to appropriate healthcare and rehabilitation. Landmine Survivors Network (LSN) was created to meet the needs of survivors and help repair the human wreckage caused by landmines. Since 1997, LSN has established locally run amputee peer support programs in seven countries. It is the first international organization created by and for survivors. LSN's peer support programs are helping survivors and people with disabilities in mine-affected and post-conflict countries. A leader in the Nobel Peace Prize-winning International Campaign to Ban Landmines, LSN has emerged as the world leader in peer support, establishing survivor relationships that help transform victims into survivors and, ultimately, into active and contributing citizens.
