Building a Healthier World for All: 2025 Year in Review [Photo Essay]

This year has been met with unprecedented challenges. Millions of families face growing crises due to rising costs, climate disasters, and conflict. On top of that, US government funding cuts left tens of millions of people without access to critical health and nutrition services virtually overnight. 

And yet, we continue forward with optimism. 

Thanks to Helen Keller Intl’s generous community of supporters, we continue to reach families most in need, this year reaching nearly 84 million children and family members around the world.  

We are honored to look back on the year and see the incredible work and community that have come together to change the lives of so many. Thank you for standing with us and our communities, even in this time of immense change.
