Naomi Campbell is organising two charity fashion shows in aid of the Ebola crisis.

The 44-year-old supermodel - who launched the Fashion for Relief foundation in 2005 - has organised two catwalk shows, one in New York and one in London, to coincide with their February fashion weeks to raise money for the appeal, reports Telegraph.co.uk.

The raven-haired beauty - who, through the foundation, has also provided aid to victims following the India terrorist attacks in 2009, the Japan earthquake and tsunami in 2011 and the Haiti earthquake in 2010 - previously called in the help of fellow supermodel Kate Moss and singer Beyoncé to walk in the shows and promote the cause.

Naomi - who has a home at the heart of the outbreak in Kenya - hopes the star-studded events will not only raise funds but help to educate the public over the crisis.

The fashion legend recently admitted she is "scared" of the virus and feels a responsibility to fight against the outbreak which has claimed the lives of over 1000 people in West Africa.

She told The New York Post newspaper's Page Six column: "People don't have a clear idea about what Ebola is."

Adding: "Ebola does not discriminate."
