Global Hand helps UN fight Ebola crisis

The statistics on the West African Ebola outbreak have been terrifying: more than 10,000 people dead and thousands more currently infected. The epidemic is, thankfully, slowing, but  we know that without efficient and coordinated action, many more lives could have been lost. As the world rallied to respond, the United Nations asked our Global Hand team to help them organise an online response page where the business community can give money, services and ideas to help. You can see it at https://business.un.org/en/disasters/7418

Global Hand has worked with the United Nations since building their web portal www.business.un.org for companies to interact on UN projects.
