It provides prosthetics and other similar devices to people maimed by un-exploded ordinance (UXO). These bomblets that were secretly dropped during the Vietnam War over Laos create a similar situation to Cambodia with its landmines.

And the U.S. still won't sign the treaty to ban landmines, which is a disgrace. If anyone would like to help the victims of landmines in Cambodia, check out the Land Mine Relief Fund http://www.landmine-relief-fund.com/, which was started by Aki Ra, who you can read about on wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aki_Ra I'm sure similar organizations exist in other heavily mined countries, so if you know of some be sure to post a link.
