Bill Gate's wife carries water on her head and washes dishes in Malawi

Melinda Gates, who is the wife of the richest man in the world, Bill Gates, was recently in Malawi for a visit. She said during her stay there, she joined women to fetch water and she carried 20 liters of water and it was tough for her.
She said the woman in the middle, Chrissy, carried 40 liters of water and was very impressed at how the women in the picture were able to do so effortlessly.
She shared this photo and captioned it:
Helping wash the dishes during my homestay in Malawi. Women spend much of the day cooking and then cleaning up. It’s a reminder that it’s a lot more time consuming to do dishes when you can’t just turn on a faucet

I really don't understand why the Gates are this humble. This woman and her husband are phenomenal. So You expect people like this not to get richer....Even the devil can't stop God from blessing her and her husband the more.

Is this another method of philanthropy that I'm not aware of or........

This is sheer humility; helping a cause - wife of the world's richest man. Ask Alakija ( Richest black woman) or Adenuga's wife if they can do same.

When I was growing up, I'd fetch water with 40litres and more from the 3rd street. Most people do this while growing up in Lagos. But, I admire her humility though.

Unknown said...

OMG

Her husband is the richest man on earth.

Wow! Dats encouraging. Meanwhile some girls wojust managed to marry some money-miss-road guys would see this women as "dirty". They would be feeling like they have never done tedious work in their lives. Meanwhile, in their maternal homes their parents eat palm kernel for survival.

ujunwa said...

When the white man wants to come for you and take over your land and what makes you human they pretend to be humble and stupid. For more than 500 years Africans are yet to learn. Bill Gates and Melinda Gates don't mean well for Africa. If you've not figured out this then you've got a lot to catch up with. Oyibo still dey fool Una and Una never still get sense. Go make research about Bill Gates foundation and his intention to use vaccines to reduce world population by targeting mostly African women and children making them sterile. Africans and their stupidity is of gargantuan proportion. Better wake up before it's too late.

Great! I remember Ivana Trump, Donald Trump's first wife, saying, in response to a question, that she can never be caught making a sandwich but here is the wife of Bill Gates humbling herself so. Just accept Christ and you are good to go.

Some people are just angels.If there is just two Bill Gate this world would have change completely.Imagine the way this man fought polio,and now malaria.While this man was busy motivating people to help the world poorest and Africa our leaders are busy stealing our money and molesting us.

undiluted@hardtalkng said...

This is really the manifestation of a truly rich and wealthy blood. They are not bulged to indulge in mind lifting tasks. Indeed, the gates are not only rich in material and financial terms, they are rich in the mind as well.

Now this is what u call humility, na why God they continue to lift them higher, Nigerians wey no get up to a quarter of what these pple have go dey waka with their shoulders so high as if intending for it to reach d sky

Anonymous said...

Evryone according to their gods. Pls, Mrs. Gates continue being as humble as The God of The White man like Africans say so that your life will continue to be free from the pride, arrogance and idolatory that blacks still subject themselves to and still suffer under these fake gods as d lowest ( so to say) UNTIL they abandon those non-gods...

Ms. Gates has really immersed herself in the reasearch of finding out how difficult it is 4 most African women to get water for household chores that is taken 4 granted in the West. What will be the research outcome? More access to clean, drinking water in these villages; decent structures/houses for these women to live in could be starting points; maybe, help from African husbands in doing some of these chores as well (why, I dey laff @ this particular suggestion). To do otherwise, is: goodcause4trouble

Desktop bunny to loony-phony. Keep in mind M.Gates has no money of her own. The moment the foundation has zero then the moment how loony these antics are and thousand other events by M.Gates reveal this woman is nothing special (it is the husband's money providing the status to be a global phony). ANY insane person can spend a week as if a 3rd world woman- it is not compassionate, not a harbinger of brains; it is a phony thing to do; one built from the desktop bunny up to this moment- M>Gates needs to go and earn some money on her own WITHOUT the old ball and chain guy- THEN come and tell the world what we should do to remedy people who have neither developed their brains nor culture for thousands of years. In the Catholic Church there is a very old truism " The poor you always have with you."
