Ebola: 38 Degrees members raise £133,000 and counting for the Disasters Emergency Committee appeal

Last week, as the Disasters Emergency Committee launched a fundraising appeal to tackle a disease for the first time in their history, 38 Degrees members chipped in. 

In less than 5 days, 38 Degrees members have raised over £133,000 to help fight the deadly spread of Ebola in West Africa. The money will buy vital equipment like cleaning kits to stop the spread of the disease, and protective clothing for doctors and nurses.

Chipping in to this kind of appeal isn’t like most of what 38 Degrees members do together. But sometimes, like last year when Typhoon Haiyan hit the Phillippines, donating to support experts tackling the crisis on the ground is the best we can do.
