NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF HOUSING FOR VISUALLY IMPAIRED COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

The National Association of Housing for the Visually Impaired (NAHVI) is a charitable organisation dedicated to supporting young people in Ireland who are blind or partially sighted, often alongside additional disabilities such as learning, hearing or physical impairments. By addressing the long-term, complex needs that arise from social, cultural, economic and emotional factors, NAHVI helps its members achieve greater independence and become active contributors to their local communities.

Operating as part of the Positive Futures Group, NAHVI provides specialised housing solutions and personalised support that empower individuals to "learn to be your own person". The charity relies on community fundraising - from friendly events to generous donations - to fund these services. As Gill, a NAHVI-supported young person, explains, the organisation enables them to live their best lives, fostering confidence, autonomy and a sense of belonging.
