Caritas’ Ebola Response – January Update
January 29, 2015
In October 2014, WCF announced the cocoa industry’s collective effort to support the fight against Ebola in West Africa. With support from its members, WCF raised more than $800,000 which has since been donated to two non-governmental organizations: Caritas, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.
Caritas is working in hard-hit communities by bringing food aid to people in quarantine in Guinea and Liberia, training community mobilizers, coordinating care for Ebola orphans in Sierra Leone, and more.
Read their latest update: “Dispatch from the Ebola Frontline in Liberia.”
Learn more about its efforts to fight Ebola on the Caritas website.
