He is giving his money to charities, who hopefully will put it towards good causes, like cancer/disease research, building schools and homes in impoverished countries. Maybe treatment facilities like those injection clinics or shelters.

If people need help and not free money, then they should be able to get it. His generous offer helps this cause.
If I understand correctly (glimsed the article, but know a bit about it from a talk he gave a few years ago)... the B&B Gates foundation is geared towards 3rd world community development and such. Buffet is a great man.
