And it's sometimes in very remote areas where health facilities are non-existent or there are poor health infrastructure in those particular areas.

So it's really very difficult for the authorities to kind of control or prevent the spread of the virus.

And we know that this particular strain has no proven vaccine or treatments.

Funding has been a very big challenge in the fight against this virus.

Africa's CDC on Saturday said that they needed about $300 million to contain the spread.

And so far, it's the Gates Foundation which has announced an initial $50 million in emergency funding to support the Ebola response in the DRC.

And we know that the UN has also allocated about $60 million to support the fight against the virus.

So funding remains a very big challenge.

You need money to be able to support frontline health workers who are trying very hard to ensure that they contain the spread of the virus.

Before the ban, my parents passionately encouraged me to study.

They believed in me and told me I can definitely achieve my dream of becoming a pilot.

But now they say the best way for me is to get married.

Because I can't go to school, to university.

I can't even work.

Having a husband is not the only dream a woman has.

She needs to stand on her own two feet first, become independent, and then she can marry and start a family.

But I went into this new life with none of that.

My dreams remain unfulfilled.

That is quite concerning because the Africa CDC, that is the Africa Centers for Disease Control, held a press conference in Kampala.

That's when they warned that 10 African countries were at risk of the Ebola virus.
