The Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped (SAVH), formerly known as the Singapore Association for the Blind (SAB), is the national voluntary welfare organization for the visually impaired.
Founded in 1951, the association is affiliated to the National Council of Social Service (NCSS) and is an approved Institution of a Public Character (IPC).
Why we do
Our vision is to promote the needs, interests and aspirations of the visually handicapped.
We founded SAVH with these objectives in mind:
• To serve as an Association for the visually handicapped.
• To promote the welfare of the visually handicapped in the Republic of Singapore.
• To facilitate and encourage greater participation of the visually handicapped in the administration of their affairs and activities and in the management of the Association.
• To work towards the abolition of architectural, attitudinal, social, cultural, educational, employment and any other barriers that prevent the total integration and equal treatment of the visually handicapped in the community.
• To encourage eye-care and safety and research in the prevention and cure of blindness and related diseases.
• To do any or all such other things as are incidental or conducive to the attainment of the above objects and shall include the appeal for funds in aid of the visually handicapped.
How we do
We are driven by the thousands of visually handicapped individuals in Singapore. We want to provide a safe space for them.
