Google has launched a campaign to fight the spread of Ebola.

Google said it will cover all processing fees to ensure that 100% of donated money goes directly to fight Ebola via organizations such as InSTEDD, International Rescue Committee, Medecins Sans Frontieres, NetHope, Partners in Health, Save the Children and U.S. Fund for UNICEF.
