Frequently Asked Questions

How can I help with the Ebola outbreak in DR Congo?
The most direct way is to donate to the GoFundMe campaign, which funds protective equipment, medical supplies, and support for Congolese healthcare workers through Rebuild Hope for Africa. You can also help by sharing the campaign and raising awareness.
Where does my donation go?
Donations support Rebuild Hope for Africa (RHA), a Congolese-led non-profit on the ground in eastern DR Congo. Funds buy protective equipment, medical devices, supportive-care supplies, transportation, and livelihood support for frontline health workers.
Who is Rebuild Hope for Africa?
RHA is a Congolese-led national non-profit working on humanitarian and development issues in eastern DR Congo, staffed by Congolese nationals rooted in the communities they serve. They were active in the region before this outbreak began. Meet the team →
Why do frontline workers lack basic protective gear?
International aid funding that previously sustained clinics, training, and protective-equipment supply chains was abruptly cut in early 2025. Without it, many frontline workers cannot afford gloves, gowns, N95 masks, or face shields — and some have gone unpaid for months. Read the full story →
Is there a vaccine for this Ebola outbreak?
No. The 2026 outbreak is caused by the Bundibugyo strain of Ebola, for which there is no approved vaccine or specific treatment. This makes protective equipment and supportive care even more critical.
Can I help if I can't donate money?
Yes. Sharing the campaign on social media, by email, or with your community spreads awareness and reaches potential donors. Raising awareness about an underreported crisis is itself a meaningful contribution.

Every Action Counts

Whether you give, share, or speak up — you are standing with the people saving lives in eastern DRC.
