How is football helping Ebola survivors?
In Kenema, Sierra Leone, 25-year-old Ericson Touray has been helping Ebola survivors move on with their lives, through football.
Nearly 4,000 people lost their lives in the West African country after the outbreak of the deadly virus one year ago. Touray lost 38 members of his family. Only he and his mother survived.
To help other survivors like himself move on, Touray has set up the Kenema Ebola Survivors Football club, which has 150 members so far.
Touray says he wants people to realise they should "not be afraid” of the survivors of the disease.
