I don&#x27;t know if there&#x27;s much that Gates can do about corruption.  That&#x27;s something that might have to take it&#x27;s natural course and weed itself out (like it has partly done in the US and other developed nations).<p>In the mean time I think Gates wants to do something rather than nothing and things like mosquito nets apparently do save lives.  The people whose lives are saved may not be able to prosper, but they&#x27;re most likely grateful for not dying of malaria.
