bill & melinda gates foundation has provided significant resources and we are also targeting other high net worth individuals. we're not looking to you all alone. we are developing financing partnerships that will relieve the burden on the american taxpayer in an exciting way. one of the reasons heads of state and private sector are so involved is because of something which has been touched on but not probe enough. that is the impact of malaria on productivity. nigeria estimates they lose over $3 billion a year in lost productivity because of malaria. globally, as high as $40 billion. most people think those are significantly underestimated. that's why the private sector has gotten engaged. chevron in nigeria was losing so much time in their offices and in their production facilities because of malaria. so it was good business to intervene. that's good for the united states to have a rapidly growing economy in africa to seek a buyer of our goods and services. the opportunity is huge. the partnership is huge. the most important opportunity is for the first time, which we could not have t
