Microproject Disclaimer
Every microproject is intended to use the donations it receives in accordance with its stated description; however, it is
important to provide project leaders with the flexibility to maximize the potential benefit from the donations they receive.
This means that your donation may be used as a part of the main project that supports this microproject, specifically Support APOPO's rats in their life-saving missions.
In this event, the project leader is required to post an update to the microproject detailing the results and reasons behind
this change.
If you or any other donor is unhappy with the way their funds have been used, he or she can reallocate their donation using the
GlobalGiving guarantee.
