Internet reports that Microsoft founder Bill Gates announced on the 8th that he would donate most of his personal wealth to the Gates Foundation and set a goal of more than US$200 billion in charitable spending before the foundation stops operations in 2045 to support people in need around the world. He said that between now and 2045, the Gates Foundation's charitable spending is expected to exceed US$200 billion, including the foundation's existing endowment fund size and his future donations. According to a statement issued by the Gates Foundation, the foundation's overall strategy will remain unchanged for the next 20 years. By working closely with all partners, it will do its best to promote three core goals, namely, helping to end preventable maternal and infant deaths from diseases; ensuring that the next generation is no longer threatened by deadly infectious diseases; and helping hundreds of millions of people escape poverty and embark on the path to prosperity.
