Gates Foundation shines a light on our work in Yogyakarta | World Mosquito Program

Published date: 26 August 2021

Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates have been supporting our program since the very early days. They have both visited our project in Yogyakarta in the past 10 years. Now, the Foundation is helping celebrate our success in Yogya with this Gates Notes video. 

"It's strange that releasing these mosquitoes in people's neighbourhoods actually is good for them... This is an approach that researchers at the @worldmosquitoprogram have pioneered." – Bill Gates

 

What a great honour for WMP’s success in Yogyakarta to be acknowledged in this way. Our sincere thanks to the Gates Foundation for supporting our ambition to protect 50 million people. Forever breaking new ground through innovation in the fight against mosquito-borne disease.
