Ebola Emergency Appeal
In DRC, our team is responding urgently to this emergency, delivering water, sanitation and hygiene services, personal protective equipment, and promoting vital community awareness.
Urgent action is needed.
Over 900 suspected cases have been reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo, and a public health emergency has been declared, with cases also reported in Uganda. No vaccine or treatment is available yet for this strain, so prevention is key. Your kind donation will support our emergency response and enable rapid action wherever it is needed to help stop the spread.
