In the UK and Ireland we embody the Kiehl’s spirit of a commitment to communities and change making and believe that we have found the perfect partnership fit with MTV Staying Alive and their focus on supporting grass-roots, youth-led initiatives around the world that provide education about HIV and sexual and reproductive health in their local communities.

In many countries HIV education is minimal, yet the risk to young people can often be high. We all passionately believe in the power of the next generation and that there are some truly inspirational young people who have the power to make a change. It is for this reason Kiehl’s has chosen to fund grants made by MTV Staying Alive to some exceptional grassroots, youth led projects of peer educators who are working to bring HIV education to the forefront to protect young people in their communities.
