The International Campaign to Ban Landmines (ICBL) was founded by Firoz Ali Alizada, who triggered a landmine at age 13 when taking a short cut to school in Afghanistan. After years of social rejection and isolation due to the loss of his leg, Alizada decided he would strive to change the issue of landmines and help those in his position. ICBL has worked in over 100 countries to clear landmines and help victims lead fulfilling lives, and won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1997.
