DNPN is dedicated to making its website accessible to all users, including those with disabilities. This statement outlines our current accessibility efforts, known limitations, and how to reach us if you encounter a barrier.

WCAG 2.2 Compliance

We are working to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 Level AA standards published by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), ensuring our content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust for all users.

ADA Accessibility

DNPN is committed to compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and strives to ensure that all individuals, regardless of disability, have full and equal access to the information and services available on this Site.

Screen Reader Support

Our Site is designed to be compatible with commonly used screen readers including NVDA, JAWS, and VoiceOver. We use semantic HTML, ARIA labels, and descriptive alt text to ensure content is accessible to users who rely on assistive technologies.

Keyboard Navigation

All interactive elements on this Site — including menus, buttons, forms, and links — are accessible via keyboard. Users can navigate the entire Site using Tab, Enter, Space, and arrow keys without requiring a mouse or touch input.

1. Our Commitment

DNPN Corporation, a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation ("DNPN"), is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for people with disabilities. We continually improve the user experience for everyone and apply relevant accessibility standards to our website. We believe that every person — regardless of ability — deserves equal access to information about our humanitarian mission and the ability to contribute to relief efforts in Cabo Verde.

2. Conformance Status

We are actively working toward conformance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA. WCAG defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. Conformance with these guidelines helps make the web more accessible to users with visual, auditory, physical, speech, cognitive, language, learning, and neurological disabilities. While we strive for full conformance, some areas of our Site may still be in the process of being updated.

3. Technical Specifications

This Site is built with accessibility in mind using semantic HTML5 elements, ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) roles and attributes, sufficient color contrast ratios meeting WCAG 2.2 AA standards, text alternatives for non-text content, resizable text without loss of content or functionality, and focus indicators for keyboard navigation. Our media embeds, including videos and maps, include accessible alternatives where possible.

4. Known Limitations

While we strive to ensure accessibility across the Site, some third-party content and embedded tools — such as Stripe payment forms, YouTube videos, and Google Maps — are provided by external services and may not fully conform to our accessibility standards. We are working with these providers and monitoring updates to improve the accessibility of embedded content.
