Please educate yourself on Bill Gates before making statements like that. He's not as bad as most of the other billionaires but he is still plenty problematic and these charity donations more often than not completely destroy the economies and job markets of the places they're donated to.

Behind the Bastards has a multi-part series on Gates that goes into a lot of his history and what he has done to influence the world. Some good, a lot bad.

Citations needed. Most of the stuff he donates either involves local labor or are things that locals aren't equipped to do - like genetically modifying mosquitos.

There's a ton of citation out there, but really use the source I recommended in my original comment; The two part Ballad of Bill Gates by Robert Evans.
