A LE TTER FROM
ALICIA KEYS AND
CEO PE TER TWYMAN
“ Do not attempt to adjust your radio, there is nothing wrong. We
have taken control as to bring you this special show. We will return
it to you as soon as you are grooving.”
P. FUNK (WANTS TO GET FUNKED UP) - PARLIAMENT
When Parliament released this song in 1975 it
invoked a different world for black people, one
with endless possibilities, free from racism and
oppression. Another song called “Chocolate City”
foretold a future with a black president in the White
House. That’s the power of Afrofuturism—an arts
and cultural movement and perspective that helps
us imagine a more enlightened, egalitarian world
for black people and ultimately everyone.
Tonight we are taking inspiration from that movement
not only to create a beautiful and creative evening
of music and purpose but to celebrate Africa now
and in the future. To see African people, countries,
and cultures for what they’ve always been—diverse,
vibrant, innovative, strong—to imagine a future free
from the legacy of its colonial history.
Also to imagine a future without one of the most
urgent challenges of our time—AIDS.
In September, world leaders convened at the UN
General Assembly to commit to the Sustainable
Development Goals, which include the goal of
ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030. This is daunting
but we think achievable.
So where are we now? There are 36.9 million people
currently living with HIV, almost 70% of them in
sub-Saharan Africa. That includes 88% of the
2.6 million HIV-infected children, and 83% of
the 2 million adolescents living with HIV! For a
continent that is disproportionately young, these
numbers are alarming—especially when you consider
that AIDS is the number one cause of death of
adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa (and the second
greatest cause of death worldwide).
Each and every one of these people has a right
to lifelong treatment and care, but millions are
still denied it. If we are going to end the AIDS
epidemic by 2030 we need to radically change,
to RE-IMAGINE the way we do things.
That’s where our work comes in. Keep a Child Alive
supports grassroots organizations in Uganda, Rwanda,
South Africa, and Kenya. We work hand in hand
with these partners to address not only the physical
but the social and economic impact of HIV, community
by community, with a focus on those most vulnerable
—children and youth. We are working to realize a
future for Africa without AIDS by investing in these
communities so they can then take care of themselves.
It may sound radical, but we believe communities are
the cure for AIDS.
Afrofuturism aspires to a world of equality and
justice—a world where who you are does not limit
your potential, your opportunity. Tonight, join us
in celebrating Africa and imagining a world where
children’s futures don’t depend on their HIV status,
where they were born, or how rich or poor their
families are.
We want to say a big thank you for joining us at
this year’s Black Ball.
Thank you to our honorees this year, Patrice Motsepe
and Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe for their incredible
and inspiring commitment to transforming and
healing communities in South Africa and beyond.
We are especially grateful for the support of Jynwel
Charitable Foundation Limited, Microsoft, and
Givenchy Parfums, tonight’s presenting sponsors.
And to all the amazing artists who came out tonight
to help us in our mission, we salute you—your
generosity and support means the world to us and
the people we serve! And last but not least, a big
shout-out to the incomparable Chris Rock for
being our master of ceremonies.
With love and gratitude,
Alicia & Peter
PATRICE MOTSEPE &
DR. PRECIOUS MOLOI-MOTSEPE
“ We have over the years initiated and supported various HIV
and AIDS projects, and tonight join Alicia Keys and Keep a
Child Alive in celebration of Africa, and as partners in the
fight against AIDS. It's time to end the needless loss of life,
the needless loss of human potential. It's time to end AIDS
once and for all, for Africa and for humanity.”
PATRICE MOTSEPE & DR. PRECIOUS MOLOI-MOTSEPE
Patrice Motsepe and Dr. Precious Moloi-Motsepe are true champions
of Africa, working tirelessly to address the inequalities of health and
education for Africa’s poorest people.
As a former medical doctor and now chair of African Fashion International,
Dr. Moloi-Motsepe is able to shine a light on the needs of the most
marginalized while also celebrating and showcasing Africa’s brightest
creative talents. Patrice Motsepe is a lawyer by training and is founder
and executive chairman of African Rainbow Minerals and South Africa’s
first black billionaire.
The Motsepe Foundation was founded by Patrice and Precious in 1999,
and they were the first family to join the Giving Pledge in 2013 wherein
they committed half the proceeds of their family assets to charitable
causes and the sustainable development of the people of South Africa
and the broader African continent. Together, they are transforming
African communities by addressing issues of social and economic
injustice, envisioning a future in which all Africans can realize their
full potential.
Join us tonight as we honor Patrice and Precious. It is our honor to
have you with us.
OUR
MI S S I O N
To realize the end of AIDS for children and
their families by combating the physical,
social, and economic impacts of HIV.
Keep a Child Alive was founded in 2003 by Leigh Blake and Alicia Keys
as an emergency push to get lifesaving HIV medications to African children
and families who otherwise would not have had access to treatment.
Twelve years on, our work has grown to include the critical components
necessary to support successful, lifelong HIV treatment: comprehensive
clinical care, nutritious food, and psychosocial support, all delivered
with compassion, dignity, and respect.
We now provide financial and programmatic support to seven grassroots
programs in Kenya, Rwanda, South Africa, Uganda, and India, serving
56,000 people annually.
OUR
P RO GRA MS
FAMILY CARE CLINIC
MOMBASA, KENYA
The Family Care Clinic (FCC) started in 2001 as a pilot program at Coast
General Hospital. At the time, most experts thought HIV treatment
would not work for kids in Africa. The success of the “Mombasa Model”
at FCC has shown that providing complex, multidisciplinary services
to children with HIV is not only possible in a government hospital but
also sustainable and affordable, while also delivering a consistently
high quality of care. Today, FCC provides clinical and support services
to children and young people living with HIV and has served 4,239
clients with quality health services. FCC continues to be a model
pediatric—and youth, as children kept alive over the years grow into
adolescents—HIV care and treatment program in Kenya and globally.
WE-ACTX FOR HOPE
KIGALI, RWANDA
Women’s Equity in Access to Care and Treatment (WE-ACTx) was founded
in the wake of the 1994 genocide, when an estimated 250,000 women
experienced rape, torture, and numerous other forms of violence.
During this time, many women contracted HIV. In 2003, as HIV treatment
started becoming available in Rwanda, female genocide survivors
living with HIV were outraged to know that their perpetrators were able
to access antiretroviral therapy (ART) in jails but that they were not.
WE-ACTx for Hope was created in 2004 to mobilize resources to help
women living with HIV exercise their right to access HIV care and
treatment. A decade since the organization’s founding, WE-ACTx for
Hope has grown to provide quality HIV services from two comprehensive
clinics in Kigali as well as offer community-based support services.
WE-ACTx for Hope is now a locally registered NGO in Kigali, providing
it’s 2,495 clients with comprehensive HIV care and treatment,
psychosocial and mental health services, nutritional support, and
skills training. WE-ACTx for Hope is committed to providing youthfriendly HIV services and engaging young people in the program as
peer educators and staff.
BLUE ROOF WELLNESS CENTRE
DURBAN, SOUTH AFRICA
The Blue Roof Wellness Centre in Wentworth, Durban, is a warm space
built by KCA co-founder Alicia Keys with generous support from the
Stephen Lewis Foundation. The clinic is located in KwaZulu Natal, the
province with the highest HIV prevalence in the world (37.4%), to ensure
that people living with HIV have access to comprehensive, dignified
care and treatment. Blue Roof currently provides high-quality HIV care
and treatment to 3,225 children and families, and offers HIV testing and
counseling at the clinic and via community outreach, tuberculosis and
cervical cancer screening, psychosocial and adherence support, and
delicious, hot meals to each client.
OPERATION BOBBI BEAR
AMANZIMTOTI, SOUTH AFRICA
Operation Bobbi Bear is led by Jackie and Eureka, deeply passionate
and committed women outraged by the alarmingly high rates of
sexual violence and abuse targeted at children in their community.
This year alone Bobbi Bear has touched the lives of more than 20,000
children throughout the greater Durban area. Bobbi Bear works on
behalf of children who have been sexually abused, violated, and
neglected to ensure their health and well-being and minimize their
risk of HIV infection. The organization fights relentlessly to see that
perpetrators are brought to justice, working closely with the police
and community leaders. Bobbi Bear serves vulnerable and abused
children through its rescue, outreach, and awareness-raising programs,
including education and sensitization on sexual abuse for local
schools, police, and community groups. Their signature “Bobbi Bear,”
a stuffed bear that children can draw on and use to describe their
abuse, has been court-approved across South Africa and has helped
thousands of children tell their stories.
IKAGENG ITIRELENG AIDS MINISTRY
SOWETO, SOUTH AFRICA
Ikageng Itireleng, under the leadership of “Mum” Carol,
a fierce advocate for children’s rights in South Africa,
provides services and support to 602 vulnerable
children and young people in Soweto. Many of Ikageng’s
clients have been orphaned or are otherwise affected
by AIDS. Many live in child-headed households, where
they are forced at an early age to take on the role
of parent and look after their younger siblings. Some
of Ikageng’s children play caregiver to a terminally
ill parent or live with a grandparent who struggles
to get by on the small pension provided by the
government. Ikageng’s holistic approach provides
children with the food, clothing, schooling, healthcare,
life-skills training, and psychosocial support services
they need, keeping them in their community and
giving them the boost they need—to not only survive
but also thrive.
ALIVE MEDICAL SERVICES
KAMPALA, UGANDA
The Alive Medical Services (AMS)
clinic is located in Namuwongo, one
of the poorest and most crowded
urban areas in Kampala. From
humble beginnings with six clients
a decade ago to its current work
serving over 12,000 clients, the
clinic underscores the need and
high demand for HIV services in
Uganda. The AMS clinic stands as
a beacon of hope for the Namuwongo
community and far beyond, with
some patients traveling far to receive
quality care. AMS offers a range of
holistic services to its clients: HIV
counseling and testing, HIV care
and ART, prevention and treatment
of opportunistic infections, prevention
of mother-to-child transmission
of HIV, general medical care,
well-baby care and immunizations,
psychosocial support and counseling,
family planning, a range of lab tests,
and support groups including
several women’s groups and the
Victor’s Club for young people.
Beyond clinical care, AMS addresses
poverty among its clients, providing
access to new skills and promising
income-generating activities that
give clients and their families hope
for the future.
THE BHAVISHYA PROJECT
PUNE, INDIA
Building on the success of the Sahara Aalhad Care
Home in Pune, and the immense need for HIV-related
services in the surrounding communities, KCA launched
the Bhavishya (Sanskrit for “looking toward the future”)
Project in July 2013. The Bhavishya Project currently
serves 4,684 clients and works to improve people’s
health and address structural factors that fuel the
epidemics of HIV and tuberculosis. Along with Sahara
Aalhad, KCA works with two other local partners to
complement Sahara’s incredible clinical, psychosocial,
and advocacy work: Saahasee, an NGO that strengthens
the economic potential of women in urban poor
settings, and Prayas, an NGO and clinic with expertise
in HIV care and support, including quality clinical care
and psychosocial support for children and adolescents.
By combining and coordinating the forces of these
three organizations, Bhavishya is able to have a greater
impact on the health, social and economic well-being
of people affected by HIV, tuberculosis, and poverty
in Pune as well as provide a replicable model of care.
