In the remote mountains of Nariño (a conflict-scarred department in southern Colombia), deminer Mayra Jiselly Rosero Andrade spends her days inching through dense jungle, searching for improvised explosive devices planted by guerrillas, drug cartels, and paramilitary groups. Working for the NGO Handicap International, she and her team use simple tools — shovels, rakes, and probes — to clear land that communities have been unable to safely use for years, with Colombian authorities recording at least 136 mine casualties in 2025 alone and over 12,000 since 1990. The work is painstaking and dangerous, but Rosero says she does it above all for her community — so that people can walk the roads, reach the rivers, and let their children play safely outside.
