"I wouldn't be surprised if private donations will eventually be responsible for the eradication of Malaria (1000 deaths daily, much more suffering and cost to society)." He should improve contraception instead. Would be better for the Africans AND Europeans.

  They might be suggesting that fewer people competing for resources in Africa could mean fewer people fleeing to Europe and agitating some there who resent the arrivals.

    And they would be wrong. Focusing on governance will be more beneficial. Africa has enough resources.

He really shouldn't do anything. Given it's his wealth, if he wants to focus on Malaria, then he should focus on Malaria. Be happy he's trying to do something at all. That's more than what most wealthy families do.

> He should improve contraception instead. Yeah. Perhaps he should imitate this charitable foundation run by a billionaire tech guy that's doing exactly that: https://www.gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/Global-Development/Family-Planning https://www.gatesfoundation.org/What-We-Do/Global-Developmen...
