On Thursday, foreign media reported that Microsoft's market value exceeded $65,438+0 trillion, and its co-founder Bill Gates became a billionaire again in March.
In front of many rich people, Bill Gates makes wealth more meaningful through public welfare.
According to Al Jazeera, Gates said in an interview, "My focus is on human capital in Africa. If the right measures are taken for young people in health and education, the African continent will have a very bright future. There are many great role models here. They have done amazing work, which shows that they have achieved great success in the work of the primary health care system, so there is no reason why they cannot succeed in all 54 countries! "
When Gates learned that hundreds of thousands of children died of dysentery all over the world, most of them in African countries, he first paid attention to the global medical cause.
He said that when Gates realized that thousands of children (mainly African countries) died of dysentery, Gates would first turn his efforts to global health, because many of them could be saved through simple vaccines. He hopes that the foundation can help reduce or eradicate diseases such as tuberculosis, HIV and malaria.
"As human beings, we should care about those deaths, we should care about malnutrition, and we should help build government capacity. So we won't stay in any country for long. This is the work of the government. " Gates said.
Bill Gates plans to close the foundation within 20 years after his and Melinda's death, hoping that most of the problems can be solved by then, so that the government and more rich people can fulfill their last wishes and continue to invest in the next step.
"When our foundation completes its mission, these diseases should become distant memories." Gates said.
