Facebook Founder, Wife Donate N4bn To Fight EVD by nanss: 6:14am On Oct 15, 2014
The founder and Chief Executive Officer of the popular social networking website,
Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, have donated N4bn to fight
the Ebola Virus Disease.
Making the announcement on his Facebook page, Zuckerberg said they wanted to
stop the epidemic before it got out of control to become a bigger, and more
expensive, global issue to fight, like the HIV.
He said, “Priscilla and I are donating $25m to the Centres for Disease Control
Foundation to help fight Ebola. The epidemic is at a critical turning point. It has
infected 8,400 people so far, but it is spreading very quickly and projections suggest
it could infect one million people or more over the next several months if not
addressed.
“We need to get Ebola under control in the near term so that it doesn’t spread
further and become a long term global health crisis that we end up fighting for
decades at large scale, like HIV or polio.
“We believe our grant is the quickest way to empower the CDC and the experts in this
field to prevent this outcome. Grants like this directly help the frontline responders
in their heroic work. These people are on the ground setting up care centres, training
local staff, identifying Ebola cases and much more. We are hopeful this will help save
lives and get this outbreak under control.”
