Epidemic Africa (1999) was filmed during the Presidential Mission on Children Orphaned by AIDS in Sub-Saharan Africa led by the White House Office of National AIDS Policy, which took place from 27 March to 5 April 1999.
After 19 years of service to the global community, Children Affected by AIDS Foundation (CAAF), the non-profit organization which originally funded and distributed Epidemic Africa (1999), joined forces with Keep a Child Alive (KCA), founded by Alicia Keys and Leigh Blake in 2003.
