The book was published in 25 languages and is available in more than 60 countries. Gates has donated the proceeds of the book to non-profit organizations that support the use of technology in education and skills development.
Philanthropy is so important to Gates. He has endowed a foundation with more than $27 billion to support philanthropic initiatives in the areas of global health and learning, with the hope that in the 21 century advances in these critical areas will be available for all people, especially from low-income communities in the United States and Canada.
