Mwanzilishi na CEO wa mtandao maarufu wa kijamii wa Facebook,
Mark Zuckerberg ameamua kushiriki katika mapambano dhidi ya ugonjwa wa
Ebola, kwa kuchangia dola milioni 25 sawa na shilingi za Kitanzania
bilioni 42.
Zuckerberg mwenye utajiri unaokadiriwa kufikia dola bilioni 30, alitangaza msaada huo kupitia ukurasa wake wa Facebook.
“Priscilla and I are donating $25 million to the Centers for
Disease Control Foundation to help fight Ebola. The Ebola 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 1
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 centers, training local staff, identifying Ebola cases and much more.
We are hopeful this will help save lives and get this outbreak under control.”
