Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm fasting for 24 hours to raise awareness and help contribute to UNICEF's action for children living in areas affected by the Ebola virus!

The Ebola outbreak in West Africa is the largest and deadliest the world has ever seen. More than 4900 people have died and around 13000 are infected across Guinea, Liberia, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. Neighbouring countries are also at risk as the virus could quickly spread across borders.

Right now, children are in danger. Many are being orphaned by the disease, schools and health facilities for pregnant women are being closed, and vital routine immunisation programmes are halting because of the emergency.

With the help of your donations, UNICEF can control the disease by providing care and support services for children and families hit by Ebola, but also protective equipment and medical supplies to hospitals and health workers.

ANY DONATION HELPS! LET'S PROTECT THE CHILDREN, LET'S FIGHT EBOLA!
