Today, Bill Gates is one of the biggest philanthropists in the world. Through the Bill and Melinda Gates, the largest private foundation in the world, the couple has contributed $25 billion towards global development efforts.
Bill has an analytic mind, a business­oriented outlook that equips him for understanding the conflicts facing communities in the developing world. In fact, the Bill & Melinda Gates website provides insight into the causes Bill devotes himself to; HIV, Malaria, Pneumonia, diarrheal diseases, polio, and vaccine delivery, for example. In order for Internet competency to be introduced within a community, people must feel secure about their health.
In society, we understand that some people are rich, while others are poor. We are frustrated with this stratification. When the rich realize their wealth can be shared with those living in less privileged circumstances, their efforts must be finalized with hard work and follow through. The Bill & Melinda Gates foundation is one of these institutions.
One of Bill’s goals is to eradicate polio. So much of healthcare is dependent on money, and Gates has this money to put towards such an important cause. There are tremendous obstacles to their work; such as the ideas purported by Islamist groups of that the polio vaccination is a front for sterilization and other western evils.
