Who is Priscilla Chan?

Imagine a doctor who also has a super-power for helping lots of people! That's Priscilla Chan. She was born a long, long time ago, on February 24, 1985. She became a doctor, which means she helps people when they are sick or hurt. But she's also famous for being married to Mark Zuckerberg, who helped create Facebook (now called Meta). Together, they do amazing things to help the world!

A Big Promise to Help!

Priscilla and her husband Mark made a HUGE promise. They decided to give away almost ALL of their money from Meta shares to help others. This was a lot of money, like more than all the toys in a giant toy store! They wanted to use this money to help solve big problems in the world, like making sure everyone can learn and be healthy. It's like they're building a giant playground for good ideas!

Doctor by Day, Helper by Night!

Before becoming a famous helper, Priscilla was a dedicated doctor. She knows how important it is for everyone to be healthy. She also believes that everyone deserves a good education.

So, she and Mark started something called the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative. This is like a special club that uses their money to support schools and health programs. They want to make sure kids everywhere have the chance to learn and grow strong.
