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 $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.
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 Facebookpage,
“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.
