Gates Foundation Makes $750 Million Founding Commitment to Gavi Vaccine Alliance
[RECORD.TXT] · cat --full
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation made an initial $750 million commitment to establish the Vaccine Fund — the financial engine that became Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance — at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The pledge was the largest single philanthropic donation for vaccines in history at the time. By 2024, cumulative Gates Foundation contributions to Gavi had exceeded $4.1 billion, helping immunise nearly 1 billion children and preventing an estimated 18 million deaths.

Gates-backed World Mosquito Program reaches 16 million people protected from dengue via Wolbachia method
The World Mosquito Program — backed in part by the Gates Foundation — announced in January 2026 that its Wolbachia-infected mosquito releases had reached over 16.1 million people across multiple countries, including Colombia, Indonesia, Brazil, Sri Lanka, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Vietnam. Wolbachia-carrying Aedes aegypti mosquitoes — which block dengue, Zika, chikungunya, and yellow fever transmission — had established self-sustaining populations in treated cities without requiring ongoing releases. Gold-standard randomised trials in Indonesia showed a 77% reduction in dengue incidence. The program represented one of the largest and most cost-effective vector control deployments in history.
