Paul's fundraiser for APOPO UK

Paul Barnett is raising money for APOPO UK
Celebrating the wedding of Gillian and Paul

on 4 May 2025

Our funding is helping African giant pouched rats, nicknamed HeroRATs, (and HeroDOGs) to find landmines. HeroRATs are also detecting TB as part of an integrated approach. When deployed alongside standard methods, they speed up the process, getting people’s lives back on track.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

To celebrate my forthcoming marriage to Gillian, I'm raising money for a wonderful charity, Apopo.

When we were in Cambodia, last November, we came across their Visitor's Centre in Siem Reap

The charity trains a special breed of rat to sniff out explosives in areas where many live landmines remain from the wars of recent years.

We were blown away (pun fully intended).

So, in lieu of wedding gifts, and particularly now, with the drastic cuts in foreign aid, I've set up this page to raise money to help Apopo continue to save life and limb of so many adults and children alike.

All donations gratefully received.
