There have already been thousands of cases of Ebola in Sierra Leone and Liberia, the two principal nations in which we work. The governments of both nations have declared a State of National Emergency and are working towards containing the spread the disease within what is already a low capacity and culturally complex environment; their efforts are increasingly in desperate need of support.

- We are supporting the day-to-day, essential human needs of households whose lives and livelihoods have been terribly affected: either by ebola itself; or by the effect of dramatic quarantine and other anti-Ebola measures and consequences. Typical support is through provisions as basic as dry rations and water. - Ebola is entering and progressing in vulnerable communities through lack of information and non-acceptance of the basic facts about the virus and how to protect oneself from it.
