Accessibility Statement

Our Commitment to Accessibility

The Kenya Society for the Blind (KSB) is committed to ensuring that our website and digital services are accessible, inclusive, and usable by all people, including persons with disabilities.

Accessibility is central to our mission of promoting equal opportunities, independence, dignity, and inclusion for persons who are blind, visually impaired, and individuals with other disabilities. We strive to provide an online experience that enables everyone to access information, services, and opportunities without unnecessary barriers.

We are committed to continually improving the accessibility and usability of this website in accordance with internationally recognized accessibility standards and evolving best practices.


Accessibility Standards

We aim to design, develop, and maintain this website in substantial conformance with the:

  • Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA;

  • Principles of universal design;

  • Applicable Kenyan laws and regulations relating to disability rights and accessibility; and

  • Relevant international accessibility and human rights frameworks, including the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).

While we make every reasonable effort to meet these standards, some content or third-party services may not yet fully conform in all circumstances.


Accessibility Features

To improve usability for all visitors, this website may include features such as:

  • Keyboard navigation without requiring a mouse;

  • Logical heading structures for screen readers;

  • Alternative text for meaningful images;

  • Appropriate colour contrast for readability;

  • Responsive layouts that work across different devices;

  • Resizable text without loss of functionality;

  • Clearly labelled forms and controls;

  • Descriptive links and navigation elements;

  • Consistent page layouts;

  • Compatibility with commonly used assistive technologies, including screen readers and screen magnification software.

As the website evolves, additional accessibility improvements will continue to be implemented.


Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing process rather than a one-time achievement.

We regularly review our website to identify accessibility issues and opportunities for improvement. This may include:

  • Accessibility testing during development;

  • Manual reviews using assistive technologies;

  • Automated accessibility assessments;

  • User feedback from persons with disabilities;

  • Periodic updates to align with evolving accessibility standards.

Certain pages or services may include content, documents, maps, videos, payment services, social media integrations, or other features provided by third parties.

Although we encourage our third-party providers to offer accessible services, we cannot control or guarantee the accessibility of external websites, applications, or services that are not owned, developed, or maintained by the Kenya Society for the Blind.

Links to external websites are provided for convenience and do not constitute an endorsement of their accessibility or content.

Limitations

Where such issues are identified, we will endeavour to address them as resources and operational priorities reasonably permit.
