Kelly Rowland
The Staying Alive Foundation’s first Ambassador, Kelly Rowland has dedicated her global voice in an effort to help us encourage, energise and empower young people to help stop the spread of HIV/AIDS in their local communities. Since 2008, Kelly’s hands-on approach has seen her travel to different corners of the globe in an effort to help raise awareness. She has visited Foundation-funded projects in Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania and the United States.
Kelly diarised her hands-on experience in these communities with powerful stories, and with her strong commitment to HIV prevention and education, she has worked with the Staying Alive Foundation to continue our work.
Travie McCoy
Travie began his work for Staying Alive on the red carpet at the 2008 Europe Music Awards in Liverpool, chatting to stars about their attitudes towards sex, relationships and condoms. Since then, Travie has travelled the world filming for the MTV Staying Alive Special ‘Travie McCoy’s Unbeaten Track.’ Travie met with Foundation grantees in South Africa, the Philippines and India, faced with the challenge of writing a track to document his experience.
Following on from that, Travie hit the studio to record his exclusive Staying Alive track which was released in November 2009, with all proceeds going directly to the Staying Alive Foundation.

Jamal Edwards
The Staying Alive Foundation’s latest ambassador is London-born Jamal Edwards – a pioneer of the online youth broadcaster, SBTV. A young entrepreneur, Jamal turned his hobby of filming live acts around London into a full-time job and media empire.
At the age of 16, Jamal spent most of his spare time in the grime music scene, filming and broadcasting acts. These days he rubs shoulders with globally recognised artists like P Diddy, Dizzee Rascal, Tinie Tempah and Jesse J, with his interviews and music videos.
Jamal encourages young people who are passionate about their ideas to use their drive and ambition to fight the spread of HIV and alleviate the stigma through their own businesses and organisations. Becoming a Staying Alive Foundation ambassador in October 2011, Jamal visited one of our London-based grantees, saying he can relate to many of the young people involved in the project as he comes from the same background as they do.
