Canadian ‘Best Social Startup’ is trying to bring quality education to secondary victims of Ebola  Toronto, Canada (November 25, 2014): Over one million children in Liberia have been out of school since July, when the Ebola outbreak led the government to close all schools. The Rumie Initiative (Rumie) has taken action to prevent countless children from missing out on the benefits of education and technology.
The social tech startup launched #EduOverEbola, an online crowdfunding campaign to send educational tablets to Liberia on November 20, 2014. Rumie surpassed its goal within 36 hours. Every dollar pledged to the Rumie Initiative’s Indiegogo campaign goes directly to the field.
