“This will be the generation that can solve childhood death. It can eradicate poverty, it can eradicate polio, and it can bring down over 95% of diseases like malaria, HIV and AIDS,” Gates said, “We should not stop with the progress we’ve made. Together, we can save the lives of millions of children and empower them to make great contributions.”
