This press release highlights the declaration of the 17th Ebola outbreak by the Democratic Republic of Congo in Ituri province. This new outbreak is the Bundibugyo variant, which does not have any treatment or vaccines, making the response most complex. It is also spreading rapidly as the province of North Kivu has declared one confirmed case, and Uganda has confirmed 1 case. World Vision is calling for a coordinated and cross-border response.

"Our pass rate has improved from 0% to 18.1% ever since we received this invaluable assistance."

Through Gifts-In-Kind (GIK), World Vision Zambia, under the Chipapa Area Programme, has donated school furniture comprising single-seater desks, tables, and chairs to schools worth over 1.6 million Kwacha to five schools in the Kafue district.
