About APOPO
APOPO is a non-profit organization with Belgian roots. For 25 years we have tackled landmines or tuberculosis around the world. APOPO provides a low-tech, cost-efficient solution to pressing humanitarian challenges
What We Do
APOPO addresses global issues through research, development, and deployment of scent detection technology at its training and research center in Tanzania and seven other countries.
FINDING LANDMINES
59 countries and states suffer from the blight of hidden landmines. APOPO’s landmine detection rats and technical survey dogs ignore scrap metal and only detect explosive scent, making them much faster at finding landmines than metal detectors.
DETECTING TUBERCULOSIS
Detecting tuberculosis remains one of the biggest challenges facing medical professionals. APOPO’s TB detection rats can check 100 samples for tuberculosis in 20 minutes; the same task would take a lab technician up to 4 days. Suspect samples are re-checked using LED fluorescence microscopy.
Protecting The Rainforest
As a humanitarian NGO embracing social transformation and innovation, APOPO plays a proactive role in safeguarding our climate and planet through offsetting its carbon footprint.
