Apopo Uk

APOPO UK is a registered charity in the UK supported by employees and volunteers. We fund innovative projects and topical research that enable innovation and assistance through animal scent detection. By establishing networks, collaboration and developing partnerships with those working in the field, we help to provide solutions addressing social challenges for vulnerable communities around the world. We have chosen to partner with APOPO, a highly reputable international charity with over 25 years of experience in the animal scent detection field. APOPO is taking the lead in animal scent innovation. APOPO trains African giant pouched rats, AKA HeroRats and scent detection dogs, AKA HeroDogs, to provide solutions specifically for land mine detection, TB detection, disaster search & rescue and illegal animal trafficking. APOPO UK is funded through the generosity of the general public and grant-giving bodies. We are exceedingly grateful for that support. As an autonomous grant giving body registered in England & Wales Charities Commission (No 1199007) we will consider funding projects that have special interest for our governing Board of Trustees; however, we are not currently open for unsolicited applications from third parties.
