Bill Gates plans to direct the majority of his foundation’s $200 billion philanthropic initiative towards Africa over the next two decades. This aims to improve healthcare, education, and economic growth, fighting poverty and disease. The funds will support existing programs and launch new initiatives, focusing on eradicating diseases and preventing avoidable deaths. Gates also criticized Elon Musk for reducing international aid budgets.
