Alicia Keys' Charity Mobilizes $86.6 Million for HIV-Affected Children
Keep a Child Alive, co-founded by Grammy-winning artist Alicia Keys, has raised over $86 million since 2003 to support children and families living with HIV globally. The organization combines medical care access with advocacy for health, education, and human rights in regions most affected by the pandemic.

Keep a Child Alive emerged from Keys' transformative visit to South Africa, where she witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of HIV and AIDS on vulnerable families and children. Moved by these experiences, the artist co-founded the organization in 2003 with a mission to bridge gaps in healthcare access and social support for those affected by the virus.
Over two decades of operation, Keep a Child Alive has channeled its fundraising efforts into a comprehensive approach that extends beyond medical treatment. The organization has helped millions of beneficiaries across multiple continents by ensuring access to antiretroviral therapy, nutritional support, and educational opportunities while simultaneously pushing for policy changes that strengthen human rights protections.
The charity's work has been bolstered by strategic partnerships designed to expand its reach and impact. Collaborations with organizations such as TodayTix Group have enabled Keep a Child Alive to tap into new donor networks and leverage creative platforms to amplify awareness about HIV-related issues among diverse audiences.
As the global HIV epidemic continues to disproportionately affect children in low-income regions, Keep a Child Alive's accumulated fundraising represents a significant commitment to sustained intervention. The organization's dual focus on immediate healthcare delivery and systemic advocacy underscores its recognition that addressing HIV requires both direct aid and structural change.
