In this video: No one. Type a name: Keep A Child Alive (KCA) provides treatment and care to children and families affected by HIV/AIDS in sub-Saharan Africa. The Global AIDS Alliance is an affiliate of KCA and supports it work through our advocacy to secure improved policies and increased funding to address the needs of children living with HIV/AIDS and orphaned by the epidemic. Alicia in Africa: Journey to the Motherland is the breathtaking documentary of Grammy Award-winning musician and KCA co-founder Alicia Keys' month-long trip to Africa to visit communities affected by HIV and AIDS. "Everyone who visits Africa is changed by the experience, but not everyone can afford to go to Africa," Alicia explains. "Come with me on my journey and learn as I learn. Let's start a virus to stop a virus. Send the film to everyone you know. Let's change this nightmare into our generation's greatest success story." Spreading the message is so important to Alicia that she is making the documentary available for free online. In addition, a portion of the film will air live on American Idol's Idol Gives Back on Wednesday, April 9, at 7:30 p.m. ET (10:00 p.m. PT) on FOX.
