RDC (SAVE THE CHILDREN INTERNATIONAL) : URGENT, EBOLA is SPREADING - children need protection now!

 









Hi  friend,




Children in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo are once again facing the deadly threat of Ebola.

In just a few days, reported infections have risen to over 570, with more than 140 deaths, and numbers doubling rapidly. At least 7 children are also reported to have died.

Families are terrified.

This outbreak is spreading through communities already affected by conflict, displacement and weakened healthcare systems. Many health centres still lack basic protective equipment and infection control supplies. And there is currently no specific vaccine or treatment available for this Ebola strain.

Children are especially vulnerable.

Beyond the risk of infection, children may lose caregivers, be separated from their families, miss out on healthcare and education, and face increased risks of exploitation, child labour and early marriage as communities struggle to cope.

But there is still time to act.

Save the Children is already working alongside health authorities and local partners to help stop the spread of Ebola and protect children and families.

Donate now to help protect children and stop the spread of Ebola.

Your $100 could purchase 50 kg of chlorine to disinfect health facilities, schools, water points, and other high-risk areas.


Right now, your support could help us:
  • Equip health workers and clinics with lifesaving protective equipment and hygiene supplies
  • Share trusted health information with families to help prevent transmission
  • Support children experiencing fear, grief and family separation
  • Help schools stay safe and children continue learning
  • Protect vulnerable children through child protection and psychosocial support

We have already released emergency funding to begin our response. But the needs are growing rapidly - and every delay increases the risk of further spread.

That’s why we urgently need your help today.

Please give today to help children and families facing this growing crisis.
Your support could help deliver lifesaving supplies, protect frontline health workers, and ensure children and families receive the care, protection and information they urgently need.

Children in eastern DRC cannot endure another crisis.

Thank you for standing with children when they need it most.

With gratitude,
