Helping People See True Potential
Impaired vision can cause long-lasting challenges for children and adults throughout their lives.
In childhood, poor vision will make it more difficult for a student to fully engage in the classroom and with her peers, putting her education at risk. This can start a downward spiral, especially for a child already experiencing poverty.
As she grows up, uncorrected vision becomes a barrier to finding a job and earning an income, which may trap her in a cycle of poverty affecting multiple generations.
But it doesn’t have to be this way.
Ninety percent of all vision loss is preventable or treatable. Protecting a child’s vision can make all the difference in the trajectory of her life. Helen Keller Intl partners with communities around the world to expand access to high-quality vision care, prevent and treat diseases that impact vision, and improve nutrition to protect eyesight and prevent vision loss.
