SAVH is a Singapore-based nonprofit that serves as the national voluntary welfare organization for people with visual impairment. Established in 1951 as the Singapore Association for the Blind, it is affiliated with the National Council of Social Service and is an approved Institution of a Public Character. Located in the central region of Singapore, the organization operates as a small to mid-sized entity focused on supporting the visually impaired community. Historically, SAVH has engaged in partnerships with public-sector bodies to advance accessibility, including a 2019 collaboration with the Land Transport Authority and SG Enable to trial a mobile application aimed at helping bus riders with special needs. In May 2025, reports described a collaboration involving SAVH with an AI Centre of Excellence to develop a voice assistant feature. Through these collaborations, SAVH maintains its role as a national welfare organization seeking to improve independence and quality of life for its beneficiaries through partnerships and innovation.
