Save the Children Action Network is the political voice for kids. 

Ebola is still surging across the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Kids here have endured over 100 days of chaos. Will you tell Congress to send lifesaving aid?

John,

This Ebola outbreak could soon become the deadliest in history.   

100+ days. Over 7,000 confirmed cases. Over 3,400 deaths so far.  

57% of children under 5 don’t survive when infected, while kids are becoming orphaned at a rate of nearly two per day.  

If there’s any hope of containing this crisis, our leaders must respond NOW.  

Communities are desperate for medicine, trained health workers and critical supplies. Please, urge your lawmakers to take action.

Experts suspect Ebola spread undetected for up to three months, giving the virus a lethal head start. New hotspots are constantly emerging – stretching the DRC’s health system past its limit.  

The U.S. can help put out this raging fire and protect the children in its path.   

But billions in foreign assistance funds are set to expire at the end of September.     

John, we can’t let this money go to waste. Tell Congress to step up and stop more needless suffering!

Thanks for taking a stand,   

Emily Byers
