My Nonprofit Reviews

It's very hard to choose which non-profit organisation to donate to - they are all very worthy. But as a lover of rats and someone who wants to support the health and happiness of other people; I couldn't look past the HeroRats!

I adopted a rat for my mother-law (it certainly wasn't expensive in AUD), and APOPO sent her a beautiful digital adoption pack and information about how her rat, and his handler are working to seek out land mines in rural areas of South East Asia. They also work in Africa and and the Middle East.

I was also amazed at their ability to sniff out tuberculosis infections faster, cheaper and more accurate than a standard lab test - perfect for poorer communities! They also employ local staff, thus helping the economy and giving people a chance at a career.

They have a user friendly webpage, Facebook page and a smooth donation process, with all the organisation's information so you know you're donating to a real cause.

Obviously you should always look to help as many non-profits as you can, but for something that's less known and is having a major positive impact on the lives of humans and animals, I suggest APOPO HerRats!
