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 Facebook page, “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.

They actually put a lot of their funds where it matters

It's about raising awareness of the plight of women across Africa and i'm sure clean and easily accessible water will be on the agenda henceforth

Indeed! So how many buckets of water does she have to carry all over Africa to raise awareness?

It's not a publicity stunt, Bill and Melinda Gates are by far the world's biggest philanthropists and this is one of their many projects in Malawi to provide clean water in rural areas. In Nigeria here, the support of their foundation is why Nigeria is on the edge of polio eradication

So much anger and hatred in you....for a lady

Wealthy in humility, empathy and dignity. The Gates are a blessing to the world. God bless them both.

Are you aware of bill and melinda gates foundation?

Bringing them water which is supposed to be one of the basic things every human being should not have to suffer to get wouldn't have been far reaching as it won't create the same awareness as this stunt.

You can safely assume they would have provided a solution alongside the awareness campaign

Shillioniare extradoinaire stop your azz licking.

The Gates don't need a cheap zeta level shill to promote them here on nairaland

Mama peace should learn from her, instead of fighting for a VIP lounge at the airport

Which one would you like Mama peace to carry, bucket of water or stomach? Melinda can even run with that bucket of water on her head!

seems you're not getting my gist. Does she have to carry water on her head to create awareness? I am not against her many projects in Malawi to provide clean water.
I bet you if it was Aisha Buhari that did this, I know what TANoids will be saying now.

Just let it slide biko!

Even when there is nothing to cry about, these ones will keep barking. How does my harmless comment take away your breakfast today?

If this happens in Nigeria you hear some wailers scream propaganda like that's the only word that exists in the dictionary

It's all about having a perfect story by living through their real life experience

She carried a 20 litres of water on her head and walked miles

They younger one in the middle carried 40 litres

Are you getting the gist?

This is the reason we Africans remain monkeys in the eyes of the whites.

What's the relevance of this if not to showcase us once more as third class people.

Cheap and silly publicity from a woman whose husband I aspire to outshine sooner.
