Keys is the ambassador for Keep A Child Alive, and has travelled to Africa to visit one of their clinics. While she was there she to teens and young adults who’ve lost their parents to AIDS and are now the heads of their own households.

Keys was also the musical director for the 2006 Keep A Child Alive Charity Gala, and offered a private concert as a prize in an auction to benefit the charity.

Alicia Keys expressed her gratitude for a gift of $170,000 given to her AIDS charity Keep A Child Alive (KCA) by the M·A·C AIDS Foundation, a division of the M·A·C cosmetics company that made the donation through its Kids Helping Kids campaign.

Keys serves as the Global Ambassador for KCA, a non-profit organization that asks the public for a dollar a day to purchase AIDS drugs for families in Africa.

Kids Helping Kids is an annual holiday card initiative of the M·A·C AIDS Fund, with 100 percent of sales going to support pediatric AIDS programs worldwide. The cards, featuring artwork designed by children aged five to 15 from Brooklyn public schools, were available at M·A·C stores and online. Many celebrities used the cards for their personal holiday greetings last year, with all of the proceeds going to pediatric AIDS organizations.

"Thank you M·A·C AIDS Fund. This takes the healing power of art further to save lives. Thank you to Brooklyn public schools for supporting Keep A Child Alive," said Keys.

As more celebrities get involved in helping African nations overcome debt, AIDS and poverty, some cynics have questioned whether their motives are spurred by good intentions or publicity _ most notably, with Madonna's recent trip to Malawi to adopt a child.

Alicia Keys, who is hosting her annual Black Ball charity concert in New York City on Thursday, says such criticism is unfair and a disservice to those in Africa who need help.

"I think that's horrible, and I think that really degrades and tries to discourage people who do have a voice, who do have power, who do have money, who do have the ability to reach out to people and get involved in situations," the 25-year-old R&B singer told The Associated Press in a recent interview.

"I think if you make a choice to do something positive, that shouldn't be diminished. I think that takes away from what's actually going on."

Keys, who has been involved in African causes for years, said celebrities have been in the forefront of charitable and political causes, and that's how it should be. She also said celebrities have helped direct attention to the problems in many African nations.

"I do think that it has become more on people's radars, whereas before it kind of came across as, `Oh, it's so far away,'" she said. "It's really positive to know that it is a global community."

Keys is hosting the Black Ball concert with supermodel Iman to benefit Keep a Child Alive, which provides drugs for AIDS and HIV patients. The event will include performances by Keys; Iman's husband, David Bowie; Damian Marley; and Angelique Kidjo.

Keys, who visited Africa earlier this year, said the problems that beset some countries can seem insurmountable, but she's seen how charity can save lives.

"That's why when I speak and I use my voice, I like to emphasize the way that everyday people like you and me ... can really be a huge hero," she said. "If you don't do anything else in your life, if you can save one life _ one life? It's amazing. Imagine saving 10 or 20 or 50 or 100."

Find out who her lovers were. It's be totally badass to say, "I've banged Alicia Keys," and that's probably one good life changing experience.

She's also probably somebody's favorite singer, which means something. There's gotta be chumps out there with all her records and whatnot - life changed.

And, uh, she probably wasn't always surrounded by stars, so anybody related to her who has been able to make it better in life becuase of her fame and connection has also had his/her life changed.

In conclusion, money, power, and fans result in changing lives and, um... interesting sex stories?

she has did work in africa and supports the cause of finding a cure for aids.....also involved in a read a book program
