The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation was created in 2000 to help reduce inequities in the United States and around the world. Their belief is that every life has equal value. The Foundation works to help all people lead healthy, productive lives. In developing countries, it focuses on improving people's health and giving them the chance to lift themselves out of hunger and extreme poverty. In the United States, it seeks to ensure that all people - especially those with the fewest resources - have access to the opportunities they need to succeed in school and life.
