Mark Zuckerberg donates $25million to help fight Ebola

Facebook founder and the 13th richest person in the world, Mark Zuckerberg, estimated to be worth over $30billion just announced on his Facebook page that he's donating $25 million to the Centers for Disease Control Foundation to help fight Ebola. Continue to read the statement he released...


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.

      This is the kinda wealth/riches that i admire.Not all these selfish millionaires we have in Nigeria.Always seeking to collect more rather than to give out for the needy or help the country.The same goes to celebrities that only care about buying expensive phones,shoes or wrist-watches and displaying them on social media.

      God bless you the more Mr Zuckerberg.

    CDC? Why not the WHO that is fighting the disease globally. CDC focuses on the US. The disease is out of control in Liberia. Direct the money where it's needed.
