The catastrophe at the nuclear plant in Chernobyl on 26 April 1986; the testing, production and stocking of nuclear, chemical and biological and other weapons of mass destruction; as well as the use of Agent Orange during the Vietnam War all led to large-scale contaminations. Still today millions of people suffer the consequences of these man-made disasters. Efforts of Green Cross International are therefore aimed at reminding the world of these largely forgotten populations and helping them to resume normal lives, through the Social, Medical Care and Education programme (SocMed). This programme, implemented by Green Cross National Organizations in Belarus, Russia, the Ukraine and Switzerland, and a partner organization GTZ/Vietcot in Vietnam, focuses its activities on three areas in three regions. Children, young adults and families are at the centre of Green Cross's particular attention.
