About the Kids Helping Kids Intiative
To directly address the impact of HIV and AIDS on children, M·A·C Cosmetics created the Kids Helping Kids (KHK) campaign in 1994. Each year beautifully illustrated holiday cards, gift tags and gift bags are created from artwork and illustrations donated by children ages 3 to 15, who are affected with HIV and AIDS and who benefit from community programs supported by the M·A·C AIDS Fund. The items are sold at M·A·C counters worldwide during November and December.
