For over a century, Helen Keller Intl has been working on the frontlines of health. We partner with governments, communities, and individuals to provide transformational support to children and adults facing vision loss, malnutrition, and disabling diseases – carrying forward the vision of our dauntless co-founder, Helen Keller. Just last year, we reached 84 million people with the tools and resources they need to live healthier lives.
