Wife of the richest man in the world, Melinda Gates, was
pictured on Saturday carrying on her head a bucket of water fetched from a
village in Malawi. Net worth of the United
States’ billionaire Bill Gates, according to Forbes magazine’s annual
list of the world’s billionaires, stands at US$76 billion. The billionaire’s spouse,
who described herself as “philanthropist, businesswoman, mother, passionate
advocate for women and girls,” posted a photo of herself with a 20-litre bucket
of water on her head alongside two other Malawian women, walking on a dirt
road.
The PUNCH report continues:
In another picture posted
on her Instagram page, she was seen doing the dishes in a Malawian village.
Describing her
experience, Gates said on her Facebook page, “During my stay in Malawi,
I joined the women collecting drinking water. I carried 20 litres and it was
tough. Meanwhile, Chrissy (middle) is carrying about 40 litres. Many women do
this every day.”
She has been described as
one of the world’s famous social activist “who is trying to serve the people in
ignorance.”
In June, wife of the US billionaire met with Malawian President Peter Mutharika at Kamuzu Palace in Lilongwe. The agenda was to discuss the promotion of safe motherhood and maternal health in the country.
