HEALTH & WELL BEING

THE RATS THAT SAVE LIVES An estimated 15,000 to 20,000 people are killed or maimed by landmines every year. TB claims the lives of 1.5 million people each year.

We are all so preoccupied with our daily problems that we just do not hear or pay attention to the various calamities that affect our human race. Some are natural but many are manmade and administered by the unscrupulous members of our own race. There are still many millions of active landmines in more than 60 countries causing life-threatening accidents. Most of the landmines’ victims are children, for example in Cambodia they account for 50% of the casualties, in Somalia they are state to be 55%. As many as 85% of these children die before reaching a hospital, the rest are maimed, blinded or disfigured. This is where our HeroRats are estimated to have saved the lives of over one million mine explosion casualties last year and another 16,000 TB victims.
