Fondation suisse de déminage (FSD) is a Swiss humanitarian non-profit organisation specialising in humanitarian demining. Since 1997, FSD teams have been working to locate and destroy landmines and explosive remnants of war, deliver explosive ordnance risk education and support victims of accidents.

FSD operates in around 30 countries across four continents and employs over 700 staff worldwide. Its mission is to contribute to safer and more sustainable futures for communities affected by conflict and instability, by protecting civilians from explosive hazards.
