This article is about Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation

Here's a little information of BMGF:

1994 - The foundation was formed as the William H. Gates Foundation.
2000 - The Gates foundation was born in 2000 as a merger of two previous charitable endeavours.

Some of its earliest actions included pledges to the Global Fund organisation, which works to eradicate life-threatening diseases such as Malaria and Aids.
The Gates foundation was also a founding partner of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, created in 2000 to improve immunisation access in poor countries. It has donated more than $4bn to Gavi, which is currently the key player in distributing Covid vaccines in developing countries.
mproving sanitation has became another of the foundation's focuses. Bill Gates has done everything from brandishing a jar of poo on stage to drinking water from distilled faeces, in a bid to reduce stigma and showcase technological advances.
The foundation also does work in the US and says it has funded 20,000 university scholarships for high-achieving, low-income students of colour.
Headquartered in Seattle, the foundation has paid $54.8bn in grants to initiatives in 135 international countries.
The endeavour now has more than 1,600 employees in offices around the world - including in Delhi, Beijing and Johannesburg.

According to the foundation's website, the couple donated more than $36bn (£26bn) of their own wealth to it from 1994 to 2018.
Another major contributor is US tycoon Warren Buffett, who in 2006 made a lifetime pledge worth more than $30bn to the foundation.
Together with the investor, the couple launched the Giving Pledge campaign in 2010 - encouraging other rich people to donate the majority of their wealth to good causes.
