Alleviating suffering and promoting hope, growth, and stability in war-torn countries
MLI's Mission
The Marshall Legacy Institute (MLI) was founded by General Gordon R. Sullivan in 1997 in an effort to extend the vision and legacy of Nobel Peace Laureate George C. Marshall. MLI’s mission is to locate, secure, and apply skills and resources to alleviate suffering, restore hope, and create conditions that nurture stability in countries affected by conflict. By addressing the global landmine crisis, MLI works to promote safety and long-term recovery in regions where mines continue to pose a significant threat. As a nonprofit organization, MLI focuses on landmine detection, raising awareness, and educating local communities to minimize the dangers of unexploded ordnance.
Our Impact:
Thanks to Your Support
MLI's humanitarian work would not be possible without the generous support of our donors. Since 1997, MLI has donated 313 mine detection dogs to sniff out landmines in war-torn countries, supported over 2,200 landmine survivors with medical and vocational assistance, and provided mine risk education to around 278,500 people in mine-impacted countries. It is thanks to charitable foundations, grants, the U.S. Government, and countless individual donors that MLI continues to follow our mission, alleviating suffering, restoring hope, and providing stability to war-torn countries year after year.
