Alicia Keys Envisions an End to AIDS in Mediaplanet’s “Empowering Africa” Campaign
(PRWEB) December 30, 2016 -- This campaign will educate and inspire action ranging from making donations to volunteering to supporting the organizations that are out there fighting to help the people of Africa make their communities more resilient. Mediaplanet has come together with an exciting roster of leaders in the industry to share inspiring stories about the people of Africa, the progress that has been made and what still needs to happen.
Alicia Keys discusses her organization Keep a Child Alive, and the work that they’ve done over the past 10+ years to help eradicate the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa. “I was so frustrated by this injustice. It was painful to think that just because you were born into a certain economic circumstance you weren't valuable enough to deserve to live,” said Keys. “Now there are 18.2 million people on treatment, and I'm proud to say my organization Keep a Child Alive has been a part of this movement.”
The print component of “Empowering Africa” is distributed within the Friday edition of USA Today, with a circulation of approximately 250,000 copies and an estimated readership of 750,000.
