Opening doors to dreams.

Georgia stands confidently, smiling at the camera with her viola tucked under her left arm.

Thanks to generous donors like you and the Blind Low Vision NZ Youth and Employment Oppenheim Trust, people who are blind, deafblind or have low vision can pursue their dreams through education.

The Oppenheim Trust provides scholarships, grants and financial support to help young people with vision loss access higher education and training opportunities.

Georgia was born with congenital cataracts and glaucoma, but that never dulled her love of music. Connected with Blind Low Vision NZ since age one, Georgia gained confidence as a kid, surrounded by friends who could relate.

Music became her passion – she was teaching children music. But bigger dreams called. Georgia has now completed her Master’s in Viola and conducts a community orchestra in her spare time. “I would never have been able to do this without the Oppenheim Trust,” Georgia says.

Your support through trusts like Oppenheim makes dreams possible for talented individuals like Georgia.
