Saavi Services for the Blind

Cultivate Growth & Opportunity For the Blind

Build Confidence & Independence!

“My mom is her strong independent self again and I have you to thank! She had us so worried after losing her vision that we were considering making big lifestyle changes. Your classes taught us so much and brought peace back to our family.” 

— Mary R., Tucson, AZ.

Promote Community & Belonging!

“I thought I was the only person going blind. I am so thankful to meet blind people living great lives. It has been helpful to learn from everyone. Thanks for freeing me from negativity!” 

— Josh M., Buckeye, AZ.

Encourage Lifelong Success! 

“I didn’t know what to do when my eyes got bad. The hardest thing for me was giving up driving. Saavi showed me that I can still do most things and I even rode in a driverless car! Saavi helped me see that there’s no reason to sit out life.” 

— Sarah W., Phoenix, AZ.
