Overview
Guided
by the belief that all lives have equal value, the Bill and Melinda Gates
foundation pride ourselves in being 'impatient optimists' whose purpose is to
work to reduce inequity. Our vision is to ensure a world where every person has
the opportunity to live a healthy, productive life. We have four missions to:

and young people survive and thrive;
· Empower the poorest,
especially women and girls, to transform their lives;
· Combat infectious
diseases that particularly affect the poorest; and
· Inspire people to take
action to change the world. Key to enabling these missions is our commitment to
science and innovation, collaboration and partnership, measurement and rigor,
as well as optimism and risk taking. Based in Seattle, the foundation has a
worldwide staff of 1,500 people and is led by CEO Sue Desmond-Hellmann and
co-chair William H. Gates Sr., under the direction of Bill and Melinda Gates
and Warren Buffett. We have offices in the United States, Europe, India, China
