American billionaire Bill Gates is donating another $258 million to
the fight against malaria, which kills more than one million people
each year, mostly African children.
The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced Sunday it is granting
the money to groups working on new drugs, a vaccine and better
mosquito control to stop malaria.
A new report by a the Malaria Research and Development Alliance says
the $258 million donation equals more than three-quarters of the
entire global spending on research into the disease last year.
Mr. Gates told reporters Sunday it is "a tragedy that the world has
done so little" to stop the disease that kills 2,000 African children
every day.
Mr. Gates, who founded computer software giant Microsoft, is the
world's wealthiest person.
