2009 AnnuAl RepoRt - Keep a Child Alive

2009 Annual Report
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.
And, although it would be easier, life cannot be bought in a pill.
That is why Keep A Child Alive buys more than just the pills
needed to fight AIDS/HIV in Africa and India.
It buys the essential nutrition, shelter, support and education
to help ensure those pills are taken properly and effectively.
It buys the things we all take for granted, but that make all
the difference. A bed. A roof. A ride. A book. A smile.
KCA offers children, their families and entire communities a
shoulder to lean on and a heart that beats for them.
Because KCA believes we can do something far bigger
and better than buy the ability to live.
We can buy the dignity that is life.
We can buy compassion.
Buy love.
Buy the cure.
Buy life.
Because the more you buy, the more you save.
Alicia Keys and Leigh Blake
Co-Founders, Keep a child alive

Our Focus:
TREATMENT
CARE
ORPHANS
Anti-retroviral therapy (ART) has transformed
the lives of people with AIDS in the West,
returning them from sickness to health.
Globally, 5 million people are on ART
but there are 9.8 million people still
desperately in need of treatment. When
children are infected, 50% die before the
age of 2 and 80% die before the age of 5.
When a member of the public signs up to
become a monthly donor, 100% of their
monthly donation goes directly to lifesaving AIDS drugs and surrounding 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 children safe.
Currently 15 million children worldwide have
lost one or both parents to AIDS. 14.1 million
of these children are in Sub-Saharan Africa.
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, this after the terrible trauma of
losing their parents.
Keep a Child Alive supports the children’s
extended family caregivers, and builds and
sustains orphan care centers to keep the
most vulnerable children out of harm’s way.
8 years ago, keep a child alive
was founded with the belief
that we can and must Join in
the fight against aids.
We are happy to share with
you the progress we’ve made
in the past year.
we’ve only just begun.

Keep a Child Alive + Annual Report 2009: KCA Sites
Keep a Child Alive is thrilled to share the success of its recent expansion
into India. KCA announced its commitment to care for the vulnerable
women and children in India infected and affected by HIV/AIDS at the
5th Annual Clinton Global Initiative Meeting in September.
Over the next five years, Keep a Child Alive commits to establishing a series
of safe-houses to protect HIV+ women and children, and children orphaned
by AIDS. These safe-house structures will foster an environment where
vulnerable women and children can feel safe and supported with the
medical treatment and care that they need, educational opportunities they
would otherwise not have access to, and programs that will help them
build skills they can use to sustain their daily lives.
Keep a Child Alive will focus on the states of Andhra Pradesh, Delhi,
Maharashtra State, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu where we will provide to
those in the most desperate need of medical, nutritional and psycho-social
support to fight the effects of HIV/AIDS.
SAHARA AALHAD
CARE HOME
Pune, India
Since 1978, the Sahara Centre for Residential
Care and Rehabilitation has worked with
marginalized populations throughout India.
They continue to empower people, strengthen
the community, and educate society.
The Sahara Aalhad Care Home cares for HIVinfected people who have little to no access to
treatment and social support. Most Sahara clients face poverty and HIV/AIDS-related stigma
and discrimination, and have nowhere else
to turn. Many come to Sahara at a moment of
desperation, facing the latest stages of AIDS,
without any prior attempt to disclose their
status to their family or community. At Sahara
Aalhad, they empower their HIV+ clients to live
“positively,” manage their condition, and return
home with a newfound hope for the future.
Keep a Child Alive is working with Sahara to
better equip and enhance its comprehensive
care model for vulnerable men, women and
children in Pune.
CLINTON GLOBAL
INITIATIVE 2009
President Bill Clinton hosted the Fifth Annual
Meeting of the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI),
an event that brought together global leaders
from business, government, academia, science,
religion, and non-governmental organizations,
including numerous heads of state, former heads
of state, CEO’s of multinational corporations,
and prominent philanthropists. CGI is a forum
for participants to develop and implement
workable solutions to some of the world’s most
pressing issues. At this year’s Clinton Global
Initiative, Keep a Child Alive presented our
commitment to expand our work further into India.

RNP+ AANCHAL
CARE HOME
Jalore, Rajasthan, India
RNP+ works to improve the quality of life of people
living with HIV/AIDS in Rajasthan. The organization
concentrates on integrating people living with HIV,
as well as their children and family members, into
mainstream society by providing them with counseling,
AIDS treatment and surrounding medical care,
education, capacity building, and employment.
RNP+’s work brought to the forefront the urgent need
for quality orphan care for children affected by HIV/AIDS
in Rajasthan.
Keep a Child Alive joins RNP+ now in the scaling up of their
new “Aanchal” Care Home in rural Jalore. Aanchal aims to
provide comprehensive, holistic care for abandoned children
living with HIV. Many of these children have lost their parents
to AIDS, and their remaining family members are too poor or
unwilling to care for them. In addition to providing a home for
these children, RNP+ will work to strengthen the capacities
of their remaining family members, so that one day the
children can return and live with their own families.

Operation
BOBBI BEAR
BLUE ROOF
WELLNESS
CENTRE
Amanzimtoti, Durban
Wentworth, Durban
In the province of Kwa-Zulu Natal, one in
every four girls faces the prospect of being
raped by her sixteenth birthday. Operation
Bobbi Bear works on behalf of South Africa’s
child victims of sexual abuse. They help to
minimize their risk of HIV-infection at point of
rescue and ensure their health and wellbeing in places of safety and bringing their
perpetrators to justice.
The Blue Roof Wellness Centre, once just a
dream for a community plagued by alcohol,
drugs, crime and staggering rates of HIV,
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 Alicia Keys and the
Stephen Lewis Foundation, Keep a Child
Alive transformed the Blue Roof into a stateof-the-art continuum of care center for the
treatment of HIV/AIDS.
Bobbi Bear has made tremendous inroads in
their community, visiting schools and holding
outreach programs to educate children,
caregivers and officials about the reality of
child rape and HIV transmission.
Bobbi Bear has helped influence the dialogue
about the rights of children in the courts like
no other organization. Their court-approved
approach, the use of a teddy bear for victims
to relate the stories of their abuse, has helped
save thousands of children from being
victimized again by retelling their stories in
court in the presence of their perpetrator.
KCA funds entirely the costs for Bobbi Bear
to operate. KCA’s support has served 4,000
children a month through rescue, outreach
and awareness.
Keep a Child Alive + Annual Report 2009: KCA Sites
At the heart of this beautiful centre is a
flourishing garden where patients and staff
alike come together to plant and harvest
vegetables that are used to create healthy
meals at the Blue Roof. Working in the garden
helps patients feel that they are contributing
to their own self-sufficiency, giving them a
purpose and a sense of being more than just
a patient.
The Blue Roof continues to scale up its
programs and services, providing free antiretroviral treatment, nutritional support, home
based care, psychosocial support and
alcohol/drug abuse counseling to nearly
1,000 patients.

IKAGENG ITIRELENG
AIDS MINISTRY
soweto, south africa
Imagine being a mother to nearly 1,000 children. Carol
Dyanti is exactly that. She has created a new model for
family for orphans living in child-headed households in
Soweto, South Africa. These children have experienced
first-hand the true devastation of losing their parents
and guardians to AIDS.
“Ikageng Itireleng” means “help them help themselves,”
and the program is unprecedented in the way it helps these
children overcome the tragedy they’ve experienced while
protecting the remaining family unit. At Ikageng, siblings
continue to live together in their homes. AIDS has forced
these children to grow up too quickly, and the Ikageng team
continues to work hard to help them grow to adulthood,
which is frequently not possible for children as vulnerable
as these living in often dire circumstances.
Ikageng provides for all the basic needs of the children,
relieving the pressure on older children who, having lost their
parents to AIDS, are forced to take on adult roles. Through
its ongoing support of the project, Keep a Child Alive is
committed to helping ensure these children continue to thrive.

MEDICAL
SERVICES
Kampala, Uganda
CENTREVILLE
CLINIC
(formerly Icyuzuzo)
Kigali, Rwanda
Today, KCA fully funds the work of Alive
Medical Services, in a continual effort to
capacitate its programs and services to
manage its increasing patient numbers.
In partnership with We-Actx (Women’s Equity
in Access to Care and Treatment), Keep a
Child Alive funded the scale-up of the
Centreville Clinic. The clinic fulfills the needs
children and families requiring medical care,
most of whom are genocide survivors located
at the center of Kigali. Keep a Child Alive works
with the clinic to provide comprehensive
HIV/AIDS clinical services, urgently needed
psychosocial support, nutrition and
microfinance opportunities to more than
1,000 patients.
Alive Medical Services is known as a place
that transforms the lives of patients with HIV/
AIDS every day. It provides free comprehensive HIV/AIDS treatment, nutritional
support, prevention of mother-to-child
transmission services, family planning and
urgently-needed volunteer counseling and
testing (VCT) to a community that would
otherwise have no access to care. AMS
currently provides services to 5,574 patients,
and our Medical Director, Dr. Pasquine
Ogunsanya, receives an average of 100
new patients at the clinic every month.
As a nation that continues to advance on all
levels, the scars of the genocide are still
present in Rwanda, including the devastation
of widespread HIV/AIDS. KCA is committed
to working with the Centreville Clinic and is
committed to helping renew these patients
lives by returning them to health and by
providing small funds to begin their own
enterprises, be it goat farming or textiles.
With their health restored, the patients at
Centreville are empowered to begin taking
care of themselves and their families again,
and the clinic is fostering their ability to do so.
Keep a Child Alive (KCA) has supported
Alive Medical Services (AMS) since 2004,
when it began as a small project to provide
free HIV/AIDS treatment and care within the
framework of a medical center. Our work
helped scale up the project to become a
multi-faceted independent medical clinic.

FAMILY
CARE
CLINIC
Mombasa, Kenya
As the place where the vision for Keep a
Child Alive was born, the Family Care Clinic
in Mombasa holds a special place in our
hearts. In 2001, Leigh Blake and Dr. Shaffiq
Essajee of NYU Medical Center, created a
pilot program in the city’s largest government
hospital that is now responsible for providing
state-of-the-art medical and support services
to children and families living with HIV.
As Keep a Child Alive continues to evolve
its efforts into other areas where support is
urgently needed, our work with the Family
Care Clinic will remain an important and
enduring part of our on-going story. The
Family Care Clinic is doing today exactly
what Leigh intended to do in Africa from
the very beginning: keep children alive. The
vision for Keep a Child Alive is realized every
day at the Family Care Clinic, where 611
patients currently receive pediatric AIDS
treatment and 1,270 patients are receiving
surrounding care as a result of our work.

Words from
the Front
AIDS - AN EVERYDAY DISASTER
OVER 60 million souls have been
infected with the HIV virus since it
was identified in the early eighties.
That’s the population of California
and New York combined.
28 million have already died of
AIDS. That’s the entire population
of Canada. Gone.
33 million are infected with HIV
today, most will live meal to meal,
very impoverished and forced to die
in front of their children. That is over
half of the population of the UK.
17.1 million orphans are living in the
world, suffering post-traumatic stress
disorder from the experience. That
is the entire number of all the children
in England or Germany.
This is unacceptable in a civilized world.
“Whatever joy there
is in this world All
comes from desiring
others to be happy, And
whatever suffering
there is in this world,
All comes from desiring
myself to be happy.”
- 2nd Century BC Shantideva
AIDS is hell. Painful, cruel, non-discriminating and yet it is connected to
the most natural thing of all – lovemaking, sex, something so natural and
necessary to continue to create our world.
We can fix this. We can take the pain away but it’s all about MONEY. Instead
of using MONEY to buy things we don’t really need, cluttering up our homes
and brains, let’s buy LIFE for those who are hanging on by a thread.
Today we are here ready to help and ready to be counted. Let’s provide
housing, drugs, love, hope, and our commitment to children and families
just like ours, who want what we want but most of all they need our
compassion and concrete action.
We are forever blessed when we give. In every religion, charity is most
important. Giving is a feeling that is better than anything. And a constant
commitment to something you believe in changes the importance of
everything around you... and you are freed in the process.
Your light can shine.
Alicia Keys and Leigh Blake
Co-Founders, Keep a child alive
We pride ourselves on being an organization
that is not afraid to push the limits.
A pioneer in most of our endeavors,
Keep a Child Alive is and will always be an
organization that cannot be ignored.
We move boldly and
purposefully with urgency
in our work every day.
We are people of action, doing what we can to make
life better for others, because it is within all of our
abilities to do so.
We believe that, with AIDS
treatment, anything is possible.
We watch people become reborn with treatment. Their
children watch in wonder as their parents come back to
life. It is thrilling to see, but no matter how many players
are working to make treatment possible, it is still only a
fraction of what is needed.
We recognize how multi-faceted the AIDS pandemic
really is, and address it with our model of comprehensive
HIV care for people infected and affected by AIDS.
We fund community based
organizations whose
amazing work on the ground
is often overlooked.
We trust that the local people in the countries we serve
are extremely capable of responding to this pandemic,
but are often impeded by lack of access to medicines,
health care professionals, and funding. Our work helps
them scale up their services and we find when given the
chance, people always rise to the challenge.
All of our grantees are community based organizations
run by women who have been enlightened to the HIV/
AIDS issue via personal experience and who cannot
and will not turn away.
The key difference at
Keep a Child Alive is LOVE.
The whole team feels genuine love, compassion and
deep respect for each other, which we bring to our
patients and to our purpose. We are a family at KCA
and we care about keeping families alive and together.
We are in touch with
the people we serve.
Keep a Child Alive remains
small and bureaucracy-free.
We remain in personal contact and constant
communication with our sites on the ground. We
respect them as fellow activists and valued partners
in the fight against AIDS. They are more than just
grantees to us – they are our extended family.
This means our speed of response is never hampered.
There is no hierarchy here, only a shared passion
for moving our agenda forward to save as many lives
as possible.
We have been ahead of the
curve from the beginning.
We have thrived on being different. We were the first
NGO to offer a feature length documentary Alicia in
Africa: Journey to the Motherland for free on the Internet
to generate awareness. We were the first charity to
successfully use texting as a fundraising tool and are
pioneers in this easy and instant way of donating, right
from your cell phone. To date we have raised $800,000.
And our Black Ball, our annual fundraisier, is an amazing
night filled with love and inspiration.
We awaken our audience using
media on many different levels.
We communicate our message in schools, colleges,
communities, homes, concerts, documentaries, reality
shows, music, blogs, Twitter, and Facebook. Like pop
culture, we are constantly changing. We create hip,
direct, often outrageous ways to communicate about
our issue – the most important issue of our time.

My name is Bashir
and this is my story.
September 2nd, 2008
I don’t really know how I got this sick.
I know I should have gotten medicine
sooner. I can’t eat or walk, or even sit
down now. It took me two hours to
come all the way to Kampala to see
the doctors at Alive Medical Services.
As the nurses carry me to ward, I feel
certain I will not make it through the
night. And what will Farida, my dear
wife, do when I am gone? What will
become of my children? With a new
baby on the way, I worry that I will never
get to meet her.
October 15th, 2008
January 7th, 2009
After weeks of seeing my health
improve, I’ve had a terrible setback.
First, tuberculosis, then cancer…both
common in people who have extreme
AIDS like I do. My liver and kidneys are
failing, and I’ve lost some of the weight
that I fought to gain. But I’ve seen the
miraculous change that treatment
makes possible, and I know that with
the love and support from Alive Medical
Services, I can get there again.
July 28th, 2009
Today I purchased spare parts for my
small boda-boda shop. A year ago, I
didn’t think I would be alive, and today
I am a business man again! My health
is restored, my wife continues to thrive,
and all of our children are back in
school. I owe everything I have today to
Alive Medical Services and Big Mama
Leigh - who gave me the hope and
ability, not just to live, but to have a life.
My name is Bashir
and I am ALIVE!
I have AIDS, but the medicine I’ve been
given is already working. I am gaining
weight and feeling stronger every
day. Dr. Pasquine told me that Farida
should be tested for HIV too, as well as
our new baby. Farida has since started
treatment, and is doing well, and I hope
she never gets as sick as I was. I see
the face of my beautiful new baby girl,
and I am so thankful that she does not
have HIV. I’m in the battle for my life,
but everyone around me tells me I can
win. My will to live is strong.

KCA COMMUNITY
In May 2009, Keep a Child Alive launched ‘KCA Community,’
an online social network for our AIDS activists working on
the ground in their communities.
Evolving from the KCA College Program which began in
2006 with four college Chapters in New York City, KCA
Community has now expanded to Chapters worldwide with
over 2600 registered members! These Chapters are created
and managed by students, community members, sports
teams, churches etc to raise funds and awareness for Keep
a Child Alive. Members can observe others events, share
new ideas and participate in on-going KCA led campaigns
through KCA Community.
Through community.keepachildalive.org, the hub of our
network, members find a sense of community in which positive
action is rewarded, encouraged and supported. With our
expanding network, we offer our members the opportunity to
take immediate action.
Through their tireless efforts to raise awareness and funds,
our KCA Community members help KCA continue to ensure
that lifesaving services run consistently every year to support
our sites in Africa and India. $80,000 was raised in 2009 for
Keep a Child Alive through KCA Community.
