Time period Development summary More details
1880–1968 Helen Keller lifetime In her early months, Helen Keller from Tuscumbia, Alabama, becomes blind and deaf due to an illness. Instructed by Anne Sullivan, she would be the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree. This and other achievements lead Helen Keller to become the most famous disabled person in the world. Throughout her life, she would succeed as an author, political activist, and lecturer.
1915–1925 Early organization development In 1915, George and his wife Cora Parsons Kessler organize the British, French, and Belgian Permanent Blind Relief War Fund in Europe. In 1919, with support from Helen Keller, the Kesslers incorporate the Permanent Blind Relief War Fund for Soldiers & Sailors of the Allies in the United States.[2] In the 1920s the organization begins serving blind civilians, as well as military personnel, and also begins printing texts in Braille.[3]
1925–1946 American Braille Press for War and Civilian Blind The Permanent Blind Relief War Fund expands its focus beyond a purely war relief effort to one of aid and comfort to the civilian blind worldwide. The organization changes its name to the American Braille Press for War and Civilian Blind.[2]
1946–1977 American Foundation for the Overseas Blind After World War II, the Press affiliates with the American Foundation for the Blind. To reflect that close association, it changes its name to the American Foundation for the Overseas Blind (AFOB) and starts expanding its mission to include rehabilitation. In 1946, Helen Keller makes the first of many trips under the auspices of the Foundation to investigate the conditions and needs of blind people worldwide.[2] In the 1950s, the organization evolves from treating blind people to working to prevent blindness.[4] In the late 1960s the focus again broadens, this time toward blindness prevention and treatment.[3] The Spirit of Helen Keller Award is established in 1959.
1977 onwards Helen Keller International In order to recognize the contributions of Helen Keller, AFOB adopts the name of Helen Keller International.[2] In the 1970s, HKI pioneers Vitamin A supplementation, which is successfully distributed to millions of children in developing countries, drastically reducing the number of cases of childhood blindness.[5][3] In the 1970s, HKI conducts operations in Asia including Philippines and Bangladesh. In the 1980s HKI starts operations in several countries in Africa. Also in this decade, the organization develops a homestead gardening (HG) program to increase fruits and vegetables consumption after a blindness survey reveals that households with gardens are less likely to have children with night blindness.[6] In the 1990s and 2000s, HKI keeps expanding its operations into new countries. The Helen Keller Visionary Award is established in 2005. The Helen Keller Humanitarian Award is established in 2007. In the 2010s, over 200 million vitamin A capsules are provided by HKI to children in Africa. As of 2019, the organization spans 22 countries around the world.[1] Today it is widely praised for its Vitamin A supplementation program, and is regarded as a top charity by evaluators.
