The Ebola crisis you remember was back in 2014 in Sierra Leone, Guinea, and Liberia. But the current one in the DRC is actually growing far faster than that one did. Ebola has faded out of the news because there's been a lot of news to tell and limited time to tell it, but also because the story is hard to put into headlines.

His journey highlights the resilience of children and families living through crisis, while showing how World Vision’s Nexus Accelerator Fund continues to provide life-saving nutrition support in hard-to-reach and conflict-affected communities.
