Hi Huneybees,
 |
| For every bottle of Limited Edition Midnight Recovery Concentrate sold, SGD$5 will be donated to Action for Aids (AfA). |
Kiehl's together with 14-time Grammy Award
winning artist and philanthropist Alicia
Keys, and
Keep a Child
Alive (the
organization Keys co-founded in 2003), are partnering to bring
dignified treatment, care and support to children and families
affected by HIV. Beginning 1 January 2014, Kiehl’s will begin
selling a special edition of their Midnight Recovery Concentrate with
100% of the proceeds, up to $200,000, benefiting Keep a Child Alive
globally.
Locally,
Kiehl’s Singapore is partnering with Action
for Aids (AfA),
a non-governmental organization (NGO) committed to AIDS prevention,
advocacy and support. From 1 January 2014, for every bottle of
Limited Edition Midnight Recovery Concentrate sold, SGD$5 will be
donated to AfA. The limited edition bottle includes a special charm
and an important call to action from Alicia Keys to, “Join
our movement,”
echoing her continued drive to encourage everyone to use their voice
for change and make a difference in the fight against AIDS.
The Midnight Recovery Concentrate is something I use religiously every night. Containing of potent concentration of botanical extracts specifically formulated to biologically replicate skin’s natural lipids for optimal skin repair throughout the night. I simply drop 3-4 drops of it on my face and "magic" works on my face through the night, leaving my skin radiant and smooth, making it easier for me to put on my makeup.
Other than that, Kiehl’s
Singapore have also taken a step further to raise more funds and HIV
awareness in the following campaigns:
“Smile
with Kiehl’s” Facebook Photo Contest
In
this campaign, Kiehl’s will be collecting photos of “smiles from
children”. Through this campaign, Kiehl’s Singapore hopes that
each smile can brighten and inspire the lives of the mothers and
children. For every photo submission to Instagram with #SmileKiehlsSG
from 3rd
to 31st
January 2014, SGD$0.50* will be donated to AfA. Participants are
encouraged to garner Instagram likes for their photo to show their
support towards AfA, the mothers and the children. One special
edition Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate will be awarded to
the participant with most number of likes to his or her photo. One
other participant with the most creative photo will also walk away
with the special edition Kiehl’s Midnight Recovery Concentrate.
*Limited to
2000 photos.

Island-wide “Join the K Movement” Fund Raising
In
collaboration with AfA, Kiehl’s volunteers will carry out an
island-wide fund raising campaign to raise even more funds and
awareness. In appreciation of each donation made, a Kiehl’s
Midnight Recovery Concentrate sample packet will be given to each
donor.
The
funds collected will contribute to financial assistances schemes
under HIV +
Pregnant Mothers’ Fund. This
fund was set up to assist pregnant HIV+ mothers with Highly Active
Antiretroviral Therapy or HAART during the pregnancy. This treatment
helps to prevent
mother-to-child transmission of HIV
and has been proven to be successful in an overwhelming number of
cases. Funds will also be channeled to assist diagnosed HIV+ children
under 12 years old to seek immediate
medical treatment.
"We welcome this partnership with Kiehl’s and their continued commitment to the community. Such partnerships will help in the eradication of HIV in Singapore. The project ‘Keep a Child Alive’ will do just that, the funds they raise will help prevent mother-to-child transmission and support children already living with HIV. We are proud to partner Kiehl’s in their awareness and fund-raising efforts and we trust that our partnership will continue into the future.” --- Professor Roy Chan, President of AFA
“Kiehl’s has a longstanding heritage of working to fight the HIV/AIDS epidemic with our work beginning in the 1980’s, when it was taboo to even talk about the disease. Just in the past 10 years, we have raised more than $2,500,000 for the cause.
We are proud to continue this important philanthropic work with Keep a Child Alive, an effective, on-the-ground, organization built on the foundation that every person has the right to health care and that all children deserve a future.” --- Cheryl Vitali, Kiehl’s Worldwide General Manager
While
great advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS have been made in the
past decade—with
54%
of adults now getting treatment in low and middle income countries
compared to the 0.13% ten years ago—AIDS
remains one of the world's most serious health challenges. Statistics
also show that without HIV treatment, half
of the children living with HIV will die by the age of two, and 80%
by the age of five. Over 16 million children have been orphaned due
to AIDS globally. As
the startling statistics above make clear, there is still a lot of
work to do to help children and families whose lives continue to be
dramatically impacted by the virus.
ABOUT

a Child Alive, co-founded in 2003 by Keys along with activist Leigh
