This research investigates the charitable activities of “Bill Gates”, through which he applied his vision of the importance of managing charitable works in partnership with the private sector, and with a commercial rationale. Bill Gates applied this philanthropic capitalist thought to several programs in sub-Saharan Africa, in agriculture, health, education, technology, and finance. His critics say that these programs are nothing but a new colonialism based on the theory of the white savior. While his supporters saw it as one of the mechanisms for lifting the poor of the continent from their suffering, and each of them presents his arguments. However, in reality, the green revolution that he led in Africa did not achieve the results that Africans had hoped for. Rather, poverty and inequality rates increased among small farmers, the soil was damaged, good local seeds disappeared, and genetically modified seeds that are the origin of the Bill Gates program were monopolized. So he borrowed small farmers, and Gates, along with the local elite, monopolized the distribution of genetically modified seeds, after enacting legislation that helped them. In the field of health, his vaccines caused the death of many children and even caused diseases that spread even outside Africa. Rather, Africa was a laboratory for birth control methods and the dream of reducing the world’s population. In the field of education, he began to invest in his schools that adopt curricula developed in the West and are not compatible with the nature of African societies, ultimately seeking to create a world without religion or custom. In the field of financial technology, after he began to establish a specific consumption pattern, and turned many Africans into lenders, he participates with his donations in financial inclusion operations in Africa.
