Not quite. As far as we have researched, Ms. Melinda Gates is quite unaware of Roatan. Since 1994, Bill and Melinda Gates’ foundation has given $7.5 billion to projects through the world. Only a small fraction has directly been given to Honduras, one exception being the $1.5 million grant to CARE International in 1998 “to provide family planning, AIDS/STD prevention and reproductive health services in Western Ghana and Honduras.” Some of the foundation vaccine programs for measles, mumps and rubella have benefited Honduras.
