2,500 new infections every day
2/3 of new HIV infections are amongst girls



 HIV TREATMENT,   FOOD,  ORPHAN CARE,   A FUTURE

 HIV Treatment   Access to treatment can help people living with HIV live healthy and productive lives. Significant progress has been made, yet 46% of the 15 million people who need treatment do not have it. We works to increase access to compassionate HIV care and treatment.

 

Food   One of the most essential, yet often overlooked components of successful HIV treatment is access to nutritious food. It is important that people living with HIV maintain their body weight and have a healthy diet, particularly when they are enrolled in HIV treatment. 


Orphan Care   16.6 million children have lost their parents to AIDS. Keep a Child Alive supports community based organizations and orphan care programs that provide services to some of the most vulnerable children. 

A Future  We believes that every person has the right to healthcare and that all children deserve a future. We are committed to ensuring that the people we serve continue to live with dignity and lead healthy lives.
