Almost 25 years of working for the blind
In 1982 foundation Dark & Light was formed by Dr. Martien Cozijnsen and his wife Jenny in the Netherlands. This small 'family foundation' has grown to become a professional foundation that has achieved a place in the world of aid for visually impaired. It was the Biblical mission that drove the founders and is still the source of inspiration and basis for all activities of the foundation.

From small foundation to grownup organisation
From this source of inspiration Dark & Light Blind Care aims specifically to assist blind and visually impaired children by means of projects that structurally improve their independence. The foundation Dark & Light Blind Care has achieved a place in the world of aid to visually impaired people. A worthwhile place after 23 years of hard work by several people. Looking back we may state that the work really has had impact on people’s lives.

Today
Right now Dark & Light is the largest organisation in the Netherlands in helping visually impaired people in developing countries. She works together with several organisations, like Vision 2020 to eliminate the main causes of blindness and helping blind people in their own environment.
