Help Cambodia
Help us rid Cambodia of Landmines, WOOD DUST Australia in collaboration with the Global Development Group and the APOPO HeroRats
The Situation
Cambodia is one of the most landmine-affected countries in the world. The impact of these insidious weapons is long lasting and devastating. Landmines keep people poor, standing in the way of socio-economic development. Removing landmines is essential for the future of the Cambodian people. The good news is that you can help by supporting the APOPO HeroRats.
The HeroRats
Too light to detonate mines, APOPO HeroRATs are trained to scratch at the ground when they locate explosives. Mine detection rats can search around 200 square meters in twenty minutes, an area that would take a person four days to cover. By supporting landmine clearing teams, the HeroRATs can significantly speed up the process of eliminating landmines from Cambodia.
How it works
All you need to do is donate to the APOPO HeroRats via their Australian partner the Global Development Group (GDG). Because GDG is a Deductible Gift Recipient (DGR) registered organisation, every donation over AU $2 is fully tax deductible. And every dollar you donate will help rid Cambodia of landmines.
Make a difference in
the future of Cambodia
A message from WOOD DUST founder John Madden
Hello,
I was fortunate enough to visit Cambodia earlier this year. Cambodians are a friendly, generous people who have suffered beyond imagination thanks to colonisation, war and genocide. Yet they still welcome all to their beautiful homeland.
During my trip I was able to see first-hand the effects of landmines on the people, and the efforts being made to rid their country of these awful devices. Yet unlike many complex global problems, the problem of landmine contamination is one that can be addressed and resolved. To achieve this, we all need to take responsibility for past actions and work towards creating a safe environment for the Cambodian people.
Donate to the APOPO HeroRates today and know you played your part in assuring the future of Cambodia.
Thank you for your support.
