Mamu Paasewe and Bendu Fahnbulleh are among the community educators trained by Mercy Corps to help families understand the dangers of Ebola and how to prevent it from spreading. "The problem is that some people still don’t believe Ebola is real," Paasewe says. "And it spreads." Your gift today helps Mercy Corps train frontline educators, share lifesaving information, and protect vulnerable communities before more lives are at risk.
