Sharing things I'm learning through my foundation work and other interests.
Thanks to vaccines, fewer children are dying from preventable diseases around the world. Cutting funding for them would reverse that progress and put millions of children in danger.
The devastating effects of these cuts are entirely preventable—and it’s not too late to reverse them.

U.S. global health and development aid is estimated to have saved 92 million lives over the past 20 years. We can't afford to let that kind of progress unravel: b-gat.es/4kjSUCG
There’s never been a point in the past 25 years when more lives hung in the balance. gatesnot.es/4lxznzP
It's not too late to change course.
Happening now at the Senate Approps hearing on rescissions: @SenatorCollins (R-ME) says PEPFAR "remains a bipartisan priority of Congress" and emphasizes that cutting "funding aimed at preventing disease transmission would be extraordinarily ill-advised and short-sighted."
In the last 25 years, @gavi has helped over a billion kids live better, healthier lives. Pulling the organization’s funding would have devastating consequences: more sick kids who fall behind in school, more overcrowded hospital wards, and eventually more grieving parents. I’m…
Today, world leaders reaffirmed their commitment to protecting children from vaccine-preventable diseases, raising $9 billion for @gavi. This reflects strong global confidence in vaccines as one of the most effective investments in global health. As a founding partner, the…
When the United States and other governments suddenly cut their aid budgets, I know for a fact that more children will die. Here’s the proof I’m showing Congress. gatesnot.es/3ZMNVTA
It’s always an honor to partner with incredible Nigerian healthcare workers, midwives, researchers, innovators, and changemakers—like @NcpwdOfficial and Wheelchairs for Nigeria's Chief Ayuba Gufwanm, a polio survivor who has spent his life raising awareness, delivering mobility…
Today, I conferred the Nigerian National Honour of Commander of the Federal Republic (CFR) on Mr Bill Gates @BillGates in recognition of his decades-long commitment to improving lives through interventions in global health & polio eradication, education, digital innovation, and…
Thank you for the warm welcome and honor, Prime Minister @AbiyAhmedAli, @PMEthiopia. The @GatesFoundation has partnered with Ethiopia for over two decades—and our commitment to driving progress across the country is as strong as ever.
Tonight, we’re celebrating @BillGates and the foundation he established, which has transformed countless lives around the world and in Ethiopia over the past 25 years.
A big step forward in the fight against Alzheimer’s: The FDA approved the first blood test to help diagnose the disease. Breakthroughs like this will make earlier, easier diagnosis possible—bringing us closer to better treatments and, someday, a cure. b-gat.es/4jaHGjm
The last 25 years have shown us what’s possible. The next 25 will depend on whether the world keeps showing up for the children who need it most: gatesnot.es/43nVa5t
