Families' lives are on the line.
Together, we are creating ripples of change – helping families improve long-term nutrition and health.
Yet today, many of the communities where we work face renewed threats of malnutrition, poor health, disease, and even death.
As the United States reduces its levels of foreign assistance, tens of millions of children and family members Helen Keller Intl serves have lost access to critical health services. Our team estimates that 121 million children and family members in the countries we support are now at dire risk.
Together, we are committed to doing everything in our power to support children and families.
Our communities need us now more than ever, and we will continue to stand with them. Despite these uncertainties – and thanks to our generous donor community – 70% of our work continues without disruption.
It is through Helen Keller’s deep partnerships with communities that we make the greatest impact. We listen to mothers, fathers, and community leaders to understand the challenges and 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 improving lives on a large scale and for the long term.
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 futures full of potential.
35 million individuals are being treated for neglected tropical diseases, moving us closer to a world where these diseases are eliminated.
654,000 children have been screened for malnutrition and treated when necessary, 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, supporting good nutrition for the next generation.
We can’t do it without you.
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.
