We are GDS. We help enable blind or visually impaired to be actively involved in society.

Guide Dogs Programme

Our Guide Dog Programme harnesses a dog’s guiding ability to enhance the mobility and safety of blind and visually-impaired people.

Orientation & Mobility

Our Orientation & Mobility (O&M) Programme trains visually impaired individuals to use their remaining senses to travel safely and live more independently.

Public Outreach

We actively reach out to the public to increase the awareness and acceptance of the use of guide dogs in Singapore.
