Facebook has added an Ebola button to users’ profile pages, to raise money to go the International Medical Corps, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, and Save the Children. The Ebola donation button will stay in place for a week.

The social network has set up the button in partnership with the non-profit organisation NetHope, and Facebook is also donating and deploying 100 satellite communication terminals to boost internet and phone services to affected areas in west Africa.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg announced the Ebola donation button with a video on his own profile page, saying “I want to make sure Facebook does its part to help fight Ebola.”
