Bil Gates and Wealth: Africa will be happy – BBC News in Serbian

The founder of Microsoft Bil Gates says that most of their own resources will spend on improving health and education in Africa over the next 20 years.

« Releasing human potential through health and education, every country in Africa should be found on the path of progress, » a 62-year-old whose wealth is appreciated to about $ 200 billion.

Speaking in Adis Ababi, in the capital of Ethiopia, Gates said that young innovators in Africa should think about how to use artificial intelligence to improve health care on the continent.

Last month, he announced that until 2045. years, until when his foundation was planning to complete all his jobs, give 99 percent of his wealth.

It is expected to be a $ 200 billion in that moment.

« I recently obliged to give my own wealth in the next two decades.

« Most of the part will be spent helping you at presenting the challenges here in Africa, » he said during speech in front of the African union.

The former first lady of Mozambique Grasa Mashel welcomed his decision by saying that he was coming « at the time of the crisis. »

« We count on the commitment of Gates to continue going along with us through the change, » she said.

The American government has reduced the help of Africa, which hit programs for the treatment of HIV and AIDS, as part of the American President Donald Tramp « America in the first place ».

Gates said his foundation, which works for a long time in Africa, would be directed to improve primary health care.

« We learned to help mothers to be healthy and have good nutrition before and during pregnancy, gives the best results, » he said.

It is very important to ensure that the child has a good nutrition during the first four years of life, he added.

Addressing young innovators, a billionaire said that mobile phones made a revolution in the banking sector in Africa and that they should now be used to further improve life on the continent.

« Africa has greatly skipped traditionally banking and now has the opportunity, while he is building the health system of the next generation, to think about how to include AI, » he said.

As an example, he stated Rwanda, saying that this state was already using ultrasound supported by artificial intelligence to discover high-risk pregnancies.

Gates Foundation has three priorities – that mothers and children do not die from diseases that can be treated, to ensure that the next generation does not suffer from deadly infectious diseases and to extract millions of people from poverty.

After 20 years, the Foundation will end their work, it was announced.

Last month, Gates said to speed up the benefits of the Foundation.

« When I die, people will say a lot about me, but I’m determined to be one of the things they say not to be » died rich « , he wrote in the blog.

And when he gave 99 percent of wealth, Gates, who is now the fifth richest person in the world, could still be a billionaire, the evaluation is Bloomberg.

Together with Polly Alen, Gates founded Microsoft in 1975. years, and the company soon became the leading force in software and other technological industries.

Gates gradually retired from the company in recent decades, filing resignation at the position of Chief Executive Director in 2000. years and at the President of 2014. years.

He said that Warren Buffet and other philanthropists inspired him to give money.

Critics, however, say that Gates uses the charity status of his foundation to avoid taxes and to have an excessive impact on the global health system.
