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.

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