Other than the technology hub Microsoft, Bill Gates has also founded an equally important organization that works on an entirely different platform. It is the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) that focuses on charitable work.
Founded in 2000 by Gates and his wife Melinda, BMGF is said to be the largest private foundation in the world that operates in a transparent manner.
The foundation is based in Seattle, Washington. Other than Bill and Melinda, there is one more member in the trustee board- business magnate Warren Buffet. Some of the programmes initiated by the Foundation include ‘The Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Programme’, and the ‘Reinvent the Toilet Challenge Programme’ that promoted safe and effective sanitation.
