Helen Keller International
(HKI) provides expertise, training and technical assistance to establish
nutrition and eye health programs in partnership with host countries.
HKI’s mission is to save the sight and lives of the most vulnerable
and disadvantaged by combating the causes and consequences of blindness
and malnutrition. It is widely understood that improving health and vision
are critical links in combating poverty and sustaining development. HKI
is devoted to working with partners around the world to help meet key
provisions of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). HKI works in several
regions where lymphatic filariasis is co-endemic with onchocerciasis (river
blindness) to distribute Mectizan®, an anti-parasitic drug.
