Nebraska Foundation for Visually Impaired Children
Due to a growing concern of parents with children with visual impairments in the early 1960’s, a group of compassionate women began the Omaha Sight Center Nursery at the Beth El Synagogue. To better meet the needs of these families, these women incorporated the Nebraska Foundation for the Visually Handicapped (NFVH) so that they could receive a $10,000 grant from the Reply Center. This money was used to start a pre-school at JP Lords’s facility for the children at the Omaha Sight Center.
