Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
Thank you for your generosity! Make your tax-deductible contribution today. All donations will be used to meet the essential needs of people in Guinea who are directly and indirectly affected by the Ebola outbreak.
There are food shortages, unmanageable inflation, and reduced opportunities for employment. People are cutting back on the quality and quantity of the food that they eat. Non-Ebola related illness, such as typhoid and malaria, are also on the rise as shortages of medicine and health care become reality.
In addition to supporting those we personally know and love in Guinea, a portion of funds raised will be earmarked to support the Ebola-based work of the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP), which has been combatting food insecurity in Guinea since 1964.
