It’s easy to be jealous of Bill Gates’ fortune, but at least he uses it for philanthropic purposes.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation donated $50 million to Liverpool’s School of Tropical Medicine to help develop new insecticides that will control mosquitoes and other insects that transmit disease.
Said Professor Janet Hemingway, Director of LSTM:
“The need for new insecticides has never been greater. Increased funding for control programmes is saving thousands of lives but malaria is still killing one child in Africa every 45 seconds.”
Kudos to Bill and Melinda for making this donation!!
