Seeing the possibilities.... The Helen Keller Foundation for Research and Education continues the work to which its namesake dedicated her life.

It is from her achievements that we draw our inspiration. Our global efforts to end blindness and deafness through medical research are a result of her belief that no matter what the obstacle, anything is possible. The impact of support can be astonishing; a single research breakthrough can often revolutionize vision care, dramatically reducing sight loss and attendant health care costs.
