Bill and Melinda Gates: Changing the world
The founders of the world's largest transparently operated private foundation
talk about their visions and ambitions.
Talk to Al Jazeera Last Modified: 02 Sep 2012 16:50
Bill Gates is one of the world's richest men. Born in Seattle in the North West
of the US in 1955, he began to show an interest in computers while at high
school.
At 15, with his friend Paul Allen, he developed a computer programme which
monitored road traffic patterns. They sold it for $20,000.
He went to Harvard University, initially planning a law career but he dropped
out when he and Allen designed a programme for a new personal computer. It was
1975 and Microsoft was born.
Over the next 30 years, through a combination of technical innovation and
aggressive business tactics, Gates' firm became one of the best known brands in
the world, a leader in the software business. It is estimated around 80 per
cent of computers globally, use Microsoft Windows.
In 1986, Bill Gates started selling shares in his company, becoming an instant
millionaire. He was just 31. The company quickly grew in value, and in just
over a year, Gates was a billionaire.
He first met Microsoft executive, Melinda French in 1989. The pair married five
years later - the same year the William H Gates Foundation was created,
dedicated to supporting education.
In 2000, the couple combined several family charities and formed the Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation - starting with their own $28 billion contribution.
The enterprise took more of Bill Gates' time so in 2006, he announced he was
leaving his full time post at the Microsoft to devote himself to his charity
work. His last full day was June 27th, 2008, but he remains chairman of the
board.
The foundation concentrates its efforts in health, education and agriculture in
both the developing and the developed world. Inevitably it draws criticism
because of what it does and how it does it - yet each year it spends billions
of dollars trying to live up to its mission to help all people lead healthy and
productive lives.
On Talk to Al Jazeera, Bill and Melinda Gates respond to criticism and explain
how they are trying to help people around the world.
Melinda defends the foundation's ambitions to bring safe contraceptives to the
developing world and how despite criticisms from the Church, she still felt
obligated to act:" We shouldn't shy away, as a world, from doing things because
we have made them difficult. Yes, contraceptives have had some sticky times in
the past - absolutely - some not great things happened in Peru, our own country
and in India & other places. But it means that we stepped back from it as a
world and yet we are letting women die because they can't space their children."
