Families' lives are on the line.

Families' lives are on the line.

Suspension of US foreign aid is putting the people we serve in grave danger. You can help protect children and families’ health and lives.

Together, our actions can create positive ripples of change and prevent people from being left behind.

Helen Keller Intl establishes deep partnerships with the communities we serve and engages with them directly to learn about the challenges their families face. We listen to mothers, fathers, and community leaders to understand the limitations of local food and health systems. Though the details are specific to each community, the outcomes are often the same: poor nutrition, a lack of affordable vision care, and the debilitating effects of disease.

The simple, cost-effective solutions that you help Helen Keller deliver are saving and improving lives on a large scale and for the long term.

Helen Keller wrote, “The world is not only moved by mighty shoves…but also by the aggregate of tiny pushes.” By reaching one child, one family, one community at a time, you are helping to create positive ripple effects that protect vision, improve health, and establish more secure food systems — not just today, but for years to come.

The ripple effects — often across generations — are evident.

With your partnership, we are ensuring that families who live in chronically under-resourced communities have the support they need to reshape their futures. 

  • 44 million children across 14 countries in Africa are getting twice-annual vitamin A, helping them grow up healthier and have a future full of potential. 
  • 35 million individuals are receiving treatment against neglected tropical diseases, moving us closer toward a world where these diseases are eliminated. 
  • 654,000 children have been screened against malnutrition, unlocking a healthier future and limitless potential. 
  • 266,000 family members have the education and tools needed to grow, prepare, and sell nutrient-rich foods, building health for the next generation. 

Your gift today can do more than you ever imagined:

$50 can provide vitamin A to 25 children for a year, ensuring healthier futures filled with potential.

$150 can provide training that enables 15 community healthcare heroes to help eliminate diseases in their community.

$500 can screen the vision of 14 children and provide eyeglasses that help them succeed in school and in life.

$1,000 can treat 3 children for malnutrition, bringing them back from the brink and providing a second chance.
