Keep A Child Alive
The seed of Keep a Child Alive was sown in Kenya in 2002. Royalties
from Leigh Blake’s previous fundraiser, Red Hot & Blue, built the
AIDS Research and Family Care Clinic in Mombasa. A woman named Anne
walked in to the clinic, desperate to obtain the anti-retroviral drugs
her three-year-old son Brine needed to survive. At the time the
medication’s high cost was an impossible dream for most Africans to
afford, and Leigh was so moved by this woman and her courage that she
decided to pay for them.
Word of the children’s desperate need for medication spread among
Leigh’s friends and colleagues, and soon they were offering to do the
same. KCA Board Member Peter Edge became its first donor, and soon
Alicia Keys passion for the issue drove her to become its first Global
Ambassador.
What started as a very personal incident between two mothers has
become a tremendous initiative for change. With over 4000 children and
family members on ARV treatment, over 250,000 people under our care,
three orphanages receiving funding, and major clinic sites in
expansion, Keep a Child Alive is making a direct impact in the lives of
so many who need help.
