It seems pretty unprobable to me that it's only because of image improvement. Because for image you cannot buy anything. Let's say, either they already have some kind of trade relationships to Africa (which we both don't know right now) or they want to create some by actions like this. Or they think Ebola is a serious threat and if nobody's seriously doing something against it, it may be at your doorsteps some time.
Second thing I want to say is: You don't know how it is these days with teaching foreign languages in Cuba. At least I might guess even in Cuba they have already realized how much important they are in foreign relationships.
