Keep a Child Alive

Once just a dream for a community plagued by alcohol, drugs, crime and staggering rates of HIV, the Blue Roof has become a powerful symbol of hope and all that is possible for the people of Wentworth and its surrounding community. Through the support of KCA Co-Founder Alicia Keys and the Stephen Lewis Foundation (SLF), KCA transformed the Blue Roof into a state-of-the-art continuum of care center for the treatment of HIV/AIDS. Among its services, the Blue Roof provides free anti-retroviral medication, home-based care services to patients too sick to come to the clinic, nutritional support for 250 families a month, psycho-social support and alcohol and drug abuse counseling. The clinic prepares free nutritious meals every day for patients and their families who visit the clinic, ensuring that every patient that walks through our clinic's doors can take their medication with a hot, nutritious meal. This revolutionary nutrition program is made possible through support from SLF. The Blue Roof has also become an integral part of the South African government's HIV/AIDS efforts, and is impacting the lives of thousands. In addition to comprehensive care for HIV/AIDS, the Blue Roof is working with the Department of Health to provide medical services and interventions, including treatment for TB, screening for cervical cancer and male circumcision, all of which affect people living with HIV/AIDS.
