MIAMI, FL — (Marketwired) — 09/16/14 — Bill Gates, one of the wealthiest and most successful people of the world, announced a donation of $50 million to West Africa through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help countries affected by the Ebola outbreak in their fight against the deadly disease. This donation constitutes the largest pledge to date made to a humanitarian crisis through the foundation. The sum will be split up between the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations (UN), the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and other international organizations that are hard at work to stop the virus– transmission.
