The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the charity run by Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates and his wife, announced Wednesday that it would be donating $50 million toward fighting the Ebola outbreak in West Africa.
This marks the largest donation to a humanitarian cause from the foundation, according to the Associated Press. The group had previously donated $10 million toward fighting the outbreak in West Africa.
"By fighting Ebola now, we can make sure it doesn't become an epidemic in [West] Africa," Gates tweeted on Wednesday.
