Gates couple makes visit to Cambodia
The world’s wealthiest person, Bill Gates, and his wife,
Melinda, made a brief appearance in the border town of Pailin on
Saturday, where their foundation funds projects to combat drug-resistant
malaria.
According to staff at the Memoria Palace & Resort, the
philanthropists met with health ministry officials and employees from
projects funded by their organisation at the hotel before jetting on to
Siem Reap.
Gates, the founder of Microsoft, launched his foundation in 1994 and
has since donated over $28 billion to projects largely dedicated to
improving health and alleviating poverty.
The Gates Foundation, a donor to the Global Fund that has distributed
over four million mosquito nets in the Kingdom, could not be reached
for comment.
