About Tamasha
Meet Tamasha
Tamasha is a female tuberculosis detection rat based in Morogoro, Tanzania. Tamasha can search 100 sputum samples in 20 minutes, much faster than a lab technician. Adopt Tamasha and help us fight TB.

All of our HeroRATs have a highly developed sense of smell and their light weight makes them ideal detectors of landmines and tuberculosis. Thanks to the generous adoption support of people like you, we can continue to carry out our important work and protect the lives of men, women, and children, as well as animals and wildlife.
