In pursuit of a disease-free world, the Zuckerberg couple donates three billion pesos to fund an innovative research and find cure.
Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg, and his wife pledged to give $3 billion over the next ten years to help manage all disease to bankroll an innovative research.
Shortly after Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan, had their daughter Max, they pledged to donate 99 percent of their Facebook holdings or some $45 billion to “advance human potential and promote equality”.
“This is a big goal”, said Zuckerberg at a San Francisco event announcing the effort of the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative established by the couple.
“But we spent the last few years speaking with experts who think it is possible so we dug in”, he added.
On the said occasion, Zuckerberg said their goal is to cure all disease, or at least curb catastrophic illnesses from terminal to manageable or preventable within their daughter’s lifetime.
