Tell Your Senators: Support APOPO’s Life‑Saving Mine Action Work

Right now, we’re asking U.S. Senators to sign this year’s Global Demining Appropriations Letter — a critical message to Senate leadership urging increased funding for humanitarian demining programs worldwide, including APOPO’s life‑saving work.

Across more than 60 countries, landmines and explosive remnants of war continue to threaten families, block access to farmland, schools, and water, and prevent communities from rebuilding after conflict. APOPO’s HeroRATs and demining teams help clear these deadly hazards quickly, safely, and cost‑effectively — but this work depends on strong and sustained U.S. support.

As Congress determines next year’s funding levels, it is vital to protect and strengthen investment in humanitarian demining. Increased support ensures that APOPO can expand clearance operations, accelerate land release, and help more families return home safely.

Your voice matters. Tell your Senators to increase funding for humanitarian demining programs and ensure APOPO’s critical work can continue.

It only takes a moment to speak up. Your action today helps protect vulnerable communities and gives families the chance to rebuild their lives on safe land.
