The Golden West Humanitarian Foundation is a United States based non-profit charity dedicated to the development of innovative technologies, training, storage, and techniques that are used to enhance the global effectiveness of the humanitarian mine action community.
Since 1998, the Golden West Humanitarian Foundation has been a leading American NGO working in humanitarian mine action. We address critical shortfalls in heavily UXO and mine-impacted countries across the globe. Each year we have built on our innovative work from the past, uncovering and addressing challenges that hinder clearance efforts.
Golden West doesn’t accept the status quo. If a solution cannot be found, we’ll design, test, and make it ourselves. We operate an Applied Technical Training Center (ATTC), a stand-alone program dedicated to our training and technology programs including the Explosive Harvesting Program. This unique training facility allows us to provide a genuinely holistic approach to each of our partners.
We are also dedicated to building an international support system that leads to improved Physical Security & Stockpile Management (PSSM) practices worldwide. Through our hands-on, practical education methods, the Golden West PSSM programs specialize in customized approaches to country specific challenges. We offer every partner a sustainable path toward safely managing their munitions.

Golden West Humanitarian Foundation works with militaries, police, and civilians worldwide, imparting our training to improve the safety and efficiency in bomb disposal and the management of arms and ammunition.
We focus on sharing knowledge and creating safer communities through immersive, expert-led training programs. Training occurs at both a provincial or localized level and a more individualized and sustainable scale predominantly through our host nation partners Military Training Academies. Our curriculum enables our partner nations to build their knowledge base and continue managing unexploded ordnance after non-governmental organizations have departed.
Golden West serves conflict-affected people around the world. We listen to their needs and then deploy our technical expertise in the most impactful way possible. We put our first-hand knowledge to work on behalf of communities around the world.
