About Us - Providing treatment, love & support to families affected by HIV/AIDS.

Our Mission

There is a profound difference between living and life. Living may extend time for another day.
But life is far more than sleeping and waking.
Life is more than merely existing. Read More

Keep a Child Alive currently focuses on:

AIDS Drugs

Access to AIDS treatment can transform the lives of people with AIDS, returning them from sickness to health. But only 44% of the 15 million people who desperately need treatment have access to it. Keep a Child Alive works to increase access by providing free treatment through the clinics we support.

Food

One of the most essential, yet often overlooked, components of successful HIV/AIDS treatment is food. Many of the people in KCA's care live in extreme poverty and need nutritional support to feed themselves and their families. Proper nutrition helps AIDS medicine be absorbed by the body, which strengthens the immune system and enhances the life-saving impact of the drugs.

Orphan Care

16.6 million children have lost their parents to AIDS. Keep a Child Alive supports community based organizations and orphan care programs that keep the most vulnerable children out of harm's way.

A Future

Keep a Child Alive believes that every person has the right to a future. We provide the comprehensive care for HIV/AIDS that makes that possible. We are committed to creating hope and a real chance at a healthy and productive future for all those whom we serve.
