At the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped (SAVH), volunteers and donors play a vital role in empowering individuals with visual impairment to lead independent, fulfilling, and dignified lives!
We’re always looking for passionate individuals and groups to join us in supporting our programmes and activities, from befriending clients and assisting in daily tasks to helping at events and workshops. If you have a special skill or talent, we welcome you to share it with our beneficiaries. Whether you’re a hairstylist offering free haircuts, a musician leading a class, or someone who simply wants to make a difference, your contribution can bring joy, confidence, and connection to our community.
Together, we can help create a more inclusive society, one where the visually impaired can thrive and live without limits!
