Facebook founder,Mark Zuckerberg gives $25m to fight Ebola virus

Mark Zuckerberg and wife Priscilla donate $25m to Ebola.

This is what i always tell people,you don't have to be religious to do the right thing.Everybody knows whats right and what's wrong.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.And this man is an atheist.I don't see all the religious people with their millions and the pastors with their private jets donating anything towards the Ebola fight.Anyway,here's what Mark Zuckerberg had to say as to why he and his wife were donating $25m to fight the Ebola virus 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.
