Mission Statement
We unlock opportunities for children with multiple complex disabilities and visual impairments. And we are doing this in 100 countries, partnering with families, governments, doctors, and educators to ignite real global change.
About This Cause
Perkins School for the Blind is an international NGO working to create a world where every child can learn, and that includes the 240 million children with disabilities around the world, the vast majority of whom lack access to skilled educators or services. Perkins is the leader in education services for children and young adults with multiple complex disabilities and visual impairments. We believe every child can learn, and learning is for life. Our school is the heart of our organization, where our educators prepare children ages 3-22 with the academics and life skills they need to define their own success. We are infinitely innovating, addressing longstanding and emerging problems facing our communities, our students, and our families. Around the world, we partner with families, educators, public schools, and governments to create truly accessible learning opportunities for more children with complex disabilities. We build the capacity of doctors to identify and support children’s special needs. We train teachers to seize early childhood as an opportunity for care, education, and transformation. We partner with governments to redesign inclusive policy frameworks. We unlock the power of parents as leaders in dismantling structural exclusion. Together with our partners and supporters, we are building a world where every child belongs.
