Dear More Than Me Family,
Thank you for your continued support. Over the past few months, we've expanded our mission to fight Ebola, and the fight is not over yet. Our mission in the time of Ebola is:
As long as there is Ebola in Liberia, our girls are at risk. More Than Me is fighting with everything we are made of to end this epidemic that terrorizes our children and the communities in which they live. We are doing this by understanding the pulse of the local people, remaining flexible to respond rapidly to urgent needs, and supporting efforts that have the highest return. (You can learn more about our Ebola projects here.)
The Ebola crisis forced schools to shut down in July. They remain closed today, which means that our girls have been out of school for way too long. Recently, President Sirleaf lifted the state of emergency in Liberia and announced that she hopes to be able to reopen schools in early 2015. We are hoping with all our hearts that this will come true, and we are aiming to reopen the More Than Me Academy in February 2015.
But, we need your help! The next GlobalGiving match day is on #GivingTuesday - that's December 2nd! On that day, donations up to $500 are matched 100% by Microsoft. Will you help get girls like Mamawa back in school?
Matching starts at 9am ET on Tuesday, December 2nd. Need a reminder? Join our facebook event and we'll share the link at the exact time matching starts.
With love for Liberia,
Emily and the More Than Me Team
