When the Singapore Association of the Visually Handicapped (SAVH) lost its funding from National Council of Social Service in 2005 and unable to help their clients, the society helped SAVH's existing clients as SAVH is unable to help them. It also worked with the Singapore National Eye Centre to help these clients.
