ACOMI: Ebola Relief

Ebola Relief Campaign

Background:

In the fall of 2014 The African Community Group on Ebola was created as a committee under the African Communities of Manitoba Inc. (ACOMI) with the following mandate:

Raise awareness among Manitobans and Canadians of African origin in regards to the Ebola virus disease in Africa and issues affecting them from the current Ebola virus outbreak.
Advocate for Canadians of African origin and their families that are affected directly and indirectly in Canada and in countries where the outbreak has been confirmed. Create a unified voice with regards to traveling, immigration policies, and laws, with a negative impact on communication, family reunion or issues affecting families at large.
Support the victims of the Ebola virus and societies affected in every possible way. Organize fundraisings to assist Canadian organizations that are involved in the process of providing emergency and relief assistance to the victims of the Ebola virus disease.
