A Ghanaian, MacLean Sarbah, has landed at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, one of the world's largest charitable foundations, serving as the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Leader at the Global Health Office of the President.
The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is an American private foundation founded by one of the World's richest men, Bill Gates and his ex-wife, Melinda French Gates.
Based in Seattle, Washington, it was launched in 2000 and is reportedly the second-largest charitable foundation in the world, holding $69 billion in assets as of 2020.
This achievement, which ironically falls in line with Mac Sarbah's mission for social impact, would have remained a dream but for the determination and resilience of a young man to overcome the shackles of poverty and inequality at Yeji, a rural town in Ghana's Bono East Region.
