Helen Keller International is a nonprofit organization helping to fight the causes and consequences of blindness and malnutrition. Active across the continents of North America, Asia and Africa, their organization supports more than 120 programs running in more than 20 countries.

Helen Keller International not only works to prevent vision lose but also support those less fortunate with eye sight trouble. Millions of underprivileged children go to school in need of vision correction that they also work to support. They do this through access to basic eye care services like prescription glasses, cataract surgery, screening and treatment of diabetic retinopathy, vitamin A supplements for those at risk of malnutrition as well as the prevention and treatment of neglected tropical diseases.

Micronutrients are not only essential to eye sight but also survival. Unfortunately millions of people in the developing world are extremely vulnerable for nutrient deficiency which can lead to blindness, illness, disability to work and even premature death especially for women and children.

Between 2013 and 2015 Helen Keller International provided more than 200 million vitamin A capsules to children under the age of 5 in 13 African countries. They also collaborate with local governments and private sector partners to reach more than 285 million people with micronutrient fortified foods such as cooking oil and wheat flour.
