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:

Treatment

Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) has transformed the lives of people with AIDS in the West, returning them from sickness to health. But only 44% of the 15 million people who so desperately need treatment, have access to it. When children are infected, 50% die before the age of 2 and 80% die before the age of 5.

Care

Keep a Child Alive provides first class AIDS care through doctors, nutrition, testing, transportation, and treatment for opportunistic infections, which are all necessary for anti-retroviral treatment to be successful. KCA also provides the care and support to keep orphaned and abandoned children safe.

Orphans

16.6 million children have lost their parents to AIDS. These children will face enormous risks in their struggle to stay alive. They will often be forced into sexual exploitation or enrolled as child soldiers. Keep a Child Alive supports the children's extended family caregivers, and builds and sustains orphanages to keep the most vulnerable children out of harm's way.

Awareness

Through documentary films and ground-breaking media campaigns, Keep a Child Alive directly engages the global public in the fight against AIDS. We actively work to educate people about the emergency issues of AIDS in Africa and India in an effort to re-invent the way they perceive their role in being part of the solution.

Our Staff
