Helen Keller, our co-founder, envisioned a world without barriers
to human potential. Guided by her fierce optimism, Helen Keller Intl has been working on the front lines of health and well-being for more than 100 years. We deliver life-changing health care to vulnerable families in places where the need is great, but access is limited. Our proven, science-based programs empower people to create opportunities in their own lives.

Since we were founded in 1915, our work has evolved from providing assistance to soldiers blinded during their service in World War I. Today, our programs prioritize preventing and treating vision loss and blindness—as well as addressing major global health problems such as malnutrition and neglected diseases that threaten sight, productivity, and well-being. 

In the U.S., Africa, and Asia, Helen Keller International’s proven, science-based programs empower people to create opportunities in their own lives and build lasting change. We build the capacity of local government, non-profit and private sector systems and infrastructure, and promote the development of sustained, large scale programs that deliver effective solutions to preventable vision loss and malnutrition.

Guided by Helen’s vision and optimism, we believe it is possible to eliminate preventable vision loss, malnutrition, and neglected tropical diseases and improve the well-being of millions of children and vulnerable families.

Vitamin A is essential to child development and health. 🧒🏿

Without sufficient vitamin A, 200,000 children die each year because their immune systems have not developed properly. 😔

A twice-yearly dose of vitamin A can reduce childhood mortality by 25%. 💊

We reach more than 30 million children a year with vitamin A so they can grow up healthy and have the opportunity to reach their true potential. 🤍💜

A hybrid workshop for project partners brought together representatives from Bangladesh’s Ministry of Social Welfare, the Jatiyo Protibondhi Unnayan Foundation, UNOPS, and ATscale, the Global Partnership for Assistive Technology, among others. 🤝

Participants discussed how to best collaborate on the project, which is supported by USAID and UNOPS, and developed a list of current challenges related to assistive technology and recommendations for moving forward. 💜🤍
