Keep a Child Alive

Keep a Child Alive
By Katrina (AppleTini)

With HIV/AIDS so prominent around the globe, particularly in India and Africa, with a succesful cure still not recorded, there are many organizations fighting for the cure through educating and raising awareness about the causes of HIV/AIDS, donating money and time to finding the cure, and doing many more remarkable things to ensure that the future will not have to battle with HIV/AIDS as the past and the present has had to.

One such organization, Keep a Child Alive, is currently focusing on three main areas: treatment, care, and orphans. As far as treatment goes, Keep a Child Alive is trying to provide children with access to anti-retroviral treatment. Currently, nine-and-a-half million people need treatment, but only forty-two percent have access to it, and this organization is trying to increase this number to 100%. Keep a Child Alive has found that not only is the basic treatment needed, but there are also specific types of care needed to ensure successful treatment, such as nutrition, testing, and transportation. Through monentary donations to the organization, KCA helps those needing treatment find the care necessary for successful treatment. Finally, true to it's name, this organization helps children who've lost one or both parents to HIV/AIDS and would otherwise not be able to survive on their own. Rather than having to turn to sexual exploitation or dangerous conditions on the streets, these children can turn to Keep a Child Alive for help and support in their time of need.

This organization has focused itself in Africa since two-thirds of people worldwide with HIV are in Sub-Saharan Africa, and India, which has the second highest prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the world. Help reduce these numbers, and get involved with Keep a Child Alive by starting or joining a campaign, hosting a fundraiser, or even simply joining the KCA online community to give your support.
