The Future Awards Africa (TFAA) has
announced the leading influencers for its global campaign to pool 1 million
young Africans to act against Ebola in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea. The
#StopEbola campaign will be led by TFAA Young Person of the Year 2013, Ashish
Thakkar and Africa’s leading creative icons - Genevieve Nnaji, Omotola
Jalade-Ekeinde and Paris-based Asa Elemide.
The #StopEbola campaignwill get young
Africans to support the World Health Organization by donating social media
updates and a minimum of $25 between now and the awards date via the portal www.stopebola.com. The funds go
directly to the United Nations Ebola Response Fund. The Future Awards Africa
holds on Sunday, 7 December 2014 at the Intercontinental Hotels in Lagos,
Nigeria.
“Ebola has been defeated in Nigeria,”
said Nnaji who has actively supported causes including the Pink Ball against
cancer. “This shows that with the will and resources it can be defeated
anywhere else. We need to get involved beyond talk and beyond sympathy. As long
as it remains anywhere in Africa, we are all at risk, and we can come together
to stop this from happening. Join me, and join all of us now on www.stopebola.com.”
“This goes to the core of what is
important to me, and what should be important to all of us who are very
concerned about our continent,” said Jalade-Ekeinde, who has been spokesperson
for Amnesty International and the United Nations. “Just when the world has
begun to pay attention to Africa as a destination for rapid growth and
investment, we cannot allow Ebola define the narrative. We need to put a stop
to this immediately, and young people need to take the lead.”

Group, Ashish Thakkar;CEO of Paga; Tayo Oviosu, Deputy Director of the British
