Liberia: Gbowee Foundation Reaffirms Vow to Ebola Fight

Monrovia — Gbowee Peace Foundation Africa (GPFA) founded by Nobel Peace Laureate Leymah Gbowee has reaffirmed its commitment to fighting the Ebola virus out of Liberia by providing direct community support to those affected by Ebola as they continue to seek outside assistance in ending the war against Ebola. Despite its direct support to affected people in various communities, GPFA Executive Director W. Piso Saydee Tarr says the foundation has provided funding for community-based organizations' health awareness campaigns, contact tracing and outreach.

Tarr noted that the fight against Ebola was everyone's responsibility and added that the foundation will not concede in providing support to those most vulnerable. Tarr urged Liberians not to be carried away by the reduction of Ebola cases, but rather remain more focused especially at the time the schools were reopening.
