Corporate Adoption of a HeroRAT

Are you looking for a cause your office can rally around? What if you could make the world a safer place to tread, eliminate fear, allow access to fertile land, diagnose the sick who have been missed by traditional methods, provide hope, and give a better name to an animal that has been under-appreciated for centuries…you can sponsor a HeroRAT!

HeroRATs can clear 200 square meters in 90 minutes; the same area would take eight-hours for two manual deminers. A rat can screen 40 samples for tuberculosis in seven minutes, while a lab technician could accomplish the same task in one full day. HeroRATs are a local, cost-effective and efficient solution to major health and safety issues facing today’s developing world.

For 6,000 Euros (quarter of the cost of a demining dog) your company can be a part of this important and much-needed work. Your sponsorship will support every aspect of the HeroRAT’s training: food, veterinary check-ups, trainer’s salary, overhead on training rooms, etc. Coverage of these costs allows us to devote more funds to our programs in demining and tuberculosis detection. With your generous contribution, together we can save more lives!

In addition to interesting water-cooler conversation, sponsorship of your own HeroRAT affords you:

  • The opportunity to name your HeroRAT and make reference to the sponsorship in your organizational materials and literature.
  • Access to a secure area of the HeroRAT website to follow the progress of your rat as he or she passes the stages of their training and enters into their noble work.
  • Use of the HeroRAT logo in materials and literature for the purpose of referencing or describing the sponsorship.
  • Option to place the HeroRAT logo and website link on your website with a statement referencing or describing the sponsorship.
