Keep A Child Alive does amazing work for children with HIV/AIDS. Statistics show there are nearly 3 million children living with HIV/AIDS today. Most of them reside in extremely poverty stricken countries such as Africa and India. A sobering statistic shows another 700,000 more children are infected with HIV. Unfortunately, more than half die before the age of two and the majority of the rest die before reaching the age of 5.
A positive development for these children is that in USA, HIV/AIDS has gone from being an automatic death sentence to a chronic yet manageable condition through the invention of antiretroviral medicines (ARVs). Since most people infected with HIV/AIDS live in impoverished countries that can't afford these medicines, they urgently need treatment.
That is where Keep A Child Alive comes in. This organization is trying to get the ARVs to those infected with HIV/AIDS in the impoverished countries. A truly saddening statistic is that the majority of children born with AIDS become orphans as their parents were already infected and that the virus was passed to the child in utero. Keep A Child Alive is working to make ARVs available to pregnant women who are infected with HIV, to stop the transmission of the virus to their children and thereby stop the spread of this disease.
Keep A Child Alive is a unique organization that is working hard to provide lifesaving AIDS medicines directly to children and families with HIV/AIDS. They only ask for a dollar a day or a monthly contribution of just $30.
Skipping a meal out or just gathering up your spare change on your dresser cna can make an incredible change in someone else's. It can actually save a life. The contributions to Keep A Child Alive go directly to children and families who desperately need the ARVs. You will be kept up to date where your donations go and have the knowledge you are truly helping children live longer, happier lives.
