Season of Giving 2024 Email Banner

Make this the most wonderful time of the year by giving back to the blind and visually impaired community! You can help make this holiday season extra special by supporting our Season of Giving fundraiser, which runs from 1 December 2024 to 31 January 2025.

Your donation can open up life-changing opportunities for our clients, empowering them to become self-sufficient. This could mean travelling to school or work independently, continuing to care for their family despite vision loss, or staying connected with friends and loved ones through assistive technology.

All direct donations to GDS of minimum S$20 are eligible for a 250% tax exemption. To qualify for your 2024 tax assessment, all tax-deductible donations must be made by 31 December 2024.

As of 31 January 2025: The fundraising campaign has concluded, thank you all for your support! For updates on our latest campaigns, visit our Latest News section to learn more.

Hear From Our Clients

Testimonial by Zahier, a GDS client.

“As a father, my biggest wish has always been to be there for my son in every way possible. GDS has helped me regain a sense of independence and confidence. I can now live the life I want, navigating on my own and enjoying moments with my son at the playground.”

Testimonial by Peter, a GDS client.

“Melody, my Orientation and Mobility Instructor, visited my home and thoroughly explained the range of support services available. She assessed my home for safety, paying attention to how I used the stovetop kettle and shared practical tips on handling kitchen appliances. Thank you GDS for helping people who are blind to adapt to changes in their visual abilities and enhance their quality of life.”
