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.
Read his statement below;
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.
