Autism lasts a lifetime. No one should take that journey alone.
We can’t walk alone either. SAAC needs your help to continue making a difference to persons with autism. Your donation, no matter how big or small, can help us continue to provide life-changing support to our beneficiaries and their families.
In the past year, we were able to serve over 470 persons with autism across our special education school, day activity centres, and residential home. Your gift enables us to keep doing so.
With just a small contribution, you can help us provide essential programmes and services, and improve the quality of life of persons with autism.
Help us to give Dignity. Meaning. Love. Education. Care.
