About Bethel

Our Foundation

Bethel USA Foundation is a nonprofit organization that specializes in early intervention care, schooling, and vocational training for disadvantaged blind or visually impaired children. We are dedicated to providing a nurturing and supportive environment for these children to thrive and reach their full potential. Our team is committed to making a difference in the lives of these children by offering comprehensive support and educational programs tailored to their unique needs.

Our Vision

At Bethel USA Foundation, our mission is to empower blind and visually impaired children to lead fulfilling lives and become active members of their communities. We believe in creating equal opportunities for all children, regardless of their visual abilities, and we work tirelessly to break down barriers and promote inclusion. Through our innovative approaches to education and skill development, we aim to cultivate independence and confidence in the children we serve, ultimately shaping a brighter future for them.

About Us

Our story began with a young founder who relocated to China at 24 to establish the first center for orphaned children with visual impairments. Now, 18 years and six centers later, we are extending our services across the globe. With a deep-rooted belief in the equality of all children, we are passionate about making a significant difference in the lives of thousands of visually impaired children every year.
