A program funded by the Gate's foundation pays third world countries $20 for every child that receives vaccination from several diseases. This program has had a huge effect on the children of countries like Niger, Mali, Cambodia, Sierra Leon, and Uganda. A study conducted by another Gate's funded organization showed that these countries where over reporting the number of children vaccinated to make more money off of this generous effort made by the Gate's foundation. The study showed that many developing countries were receiving 140 million dollars more then they should have been. This article from the Seattle Times explains this issue more in depth.

That's ridiculous that people would take advantage of someone’s good deeds like that. I wonder what will happen to them because of their actions.
