Keep a Child Alive
Keep a Child Alive (KCA) brings dignified treatment, care and support to children and families affected by HIV.
==Background==
KCA founder and President Leigh Blake was first inspired to start this initiative in 2003 after an encounter at the AIDS Research and Family Care Clinic, a place which she helped fund, in Mombasa, Kenya. A woman named Anne brought her 3-year-old son Brine for medical care, refusing to leave until she received the “drugs that you have in America for your children.” 〔(Keep a Child Alive- About )〕 Blake, who had already become involved in the AIDS epidemic using her background in the music and film industry to co-found the (Red Hot Organization ) and Artists Against AIDS Worldwide, told Anne that she would pay for the drugs. In so doing, the idea for Keep a Child Alive was born.
The drugs were about $12000 a year through the New York University Hospital AIDS Research Department, which at that time was overseeing care at the clinic through Dr. Shaffiq Essajee. It was not long before word started to spread and friends of Blake and Essajee offered to make contributions. The first donor was Peter Edge and soon, KCA Global Ambassador Alicia Keys joined the cause, sponsoring children along with Iman and many others. In 2003, Keep a Child Alive was officially founded. The clinic in Kenya that led to Blake's vision became a model for other facilities that KCA now aspires to build throughout Africa and the developing world.〔(Keep a Child Alive- About )〕
