More than likely, it's from their foundation. Good to see that some billionaires still feel the need to help others with their money instead of hoarding it

With the cheaper cost of labour in such countries and raw materials it might be more advisable to set up some long term preventon systems rather than vaccines.

Cholera could be halted by clean water investment and sewage infrastructure, it would probably do more good in the long run.
Provide jobs
Less disease
long term solution
provides a foothold to stability in some countries
sets an example for other bilionaires

Vaccination will help stabilise the population long enough to start the kind of municipal works you're looking at.

First though we need to slow the death rate

Thing is that they are in poverty and though a lot are dying most are infant mortality and the birth rate is so high anyway that the population is often rapidly expanding. There are plenty of people over there that could be paid to help in municipal work providing money to get ahead in life aswell as helping these villages do somthing that is above subsitance farming.

Alot of arfrican countries have famine because the farmers only make enough to feed themselves, if 10 billion goes at source for farming tools, irrigation, wells, sewage systems and roads you wouldn't need injections against dihoerea and vomiting viruses and means that when the next generation of children are born they don't either.


Clean water is what is needed.
