An emerging Ebola outbreak in Central and East Africa has prompted an international public health response, as alarms are being raised about cross-border transmission in a region with ongoing humanitarian and healthcare challenges.

NPT has compiled a non-exhaustive list of nonprofits supporting communities affected by the Ebola outbreak: https://bit.ly/4e0iZXH

While healthcare workers and local authorities are leading response efforts on the ground, philanthropic support can help expand access to treatment, provide critical supplies, and support community-based education efforts designed to reduce transmission and protect vulnerable populations.
