Bill Gates continues to prove to be a humanitarian from whom many can draw inspiration. The Microsoft founder, who is one of the richest people in the world, has announced plans to give away most of his immense fortune and put most of his wealth into the Gates Foundation to be distributed to places that need the money, all until the organization closes in 20 years in 2045.
This was confirmed by Gates in line with the Gates Foundation’s 25th anniversary celebration, where Gates claimed in an interview with The New York Times that the team can achieve their humanitarian goals sooner than expected, at the expense of his vast wealth of course.
Over the years, the Gates Foundation has had a hand in many humanitarian efforts, whether it was helping eradicate malaria, tuberculosis and HIV, as well as founding and creating education initiatives and helping improve agricultural efforts in Third World countries.
