About Us
Mission: 

Helen Keller Intl is a global health organization dedicated to eliminating preventable vision loss, malnutrition, and diseases of poverty.

Programs: 

Helen Keller Intl continues the legacy of our co-founder, Helen Keller, who fiercely advocated for people who would have been otherwise left behind.

Today, Helen Keller Intl helps children and families in more than 20 countries across Asia, Africa, Europe and the United States grow and eat nutritious food, stave off malnutrition, build strong immune systems, access life-saving medical treatments, and prevent and treat blindness and vision loss.

By providing the right support at the right time, we help millions of families and communities overcome longstanding cycles of poverty, helping them create lasting change in their own lives.

Why Work For Us?: 

Impact. Access. Influence.

These are just some of the words our staff use to describe why they enjoy working at Helen Keller.

How can you help us to continue her work?

Helen Keller is big enough to make a global impact and small enough that we know one another by name. We think hard work is fun. So whether you’re an expert in nutrition or gender equity and social inclusion, you like to scrub and analyze data or you’re a compliance guru, a whiz at accounting or a self-professed nerd of any sort, there may be an opportunity for you in a program, management, or operational support position at Helen Keller International.

The values demonstrated by Helen herself of rigor, integrity, grit and compassion embody the work behaviors and work results we expect of one another no matter where we work, what we do, or who we’re working with. Knowledge and skills alone are not enough. How we work with and treat one another as well as our donors, partners and beneficiaries is essential to positive program outcomes and a healthy workplace culture.
