Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD). The purpose of GAAD is to get everyone talking, thinking and learning about digital access/inclusion and people with different disabilities. Thursday, May 19, 2022, marks the 11th GAAD

What is Digital Accessibility?

Every user deserves a first-rate digital experience on the web. Someone with a disability must be able to experience web-based services, content and other digital products with the same successful outcome as those without disabilities. This awareness and commitment to inclusion is the goal of Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), a global event that shines a light on digital access and inclusion for people with disabilities.

Supporters

We thank the Social Investment Fund (SIF) for providing a grant for our accessibility projects to raise awareness and reduce barriers to taking a full and active part in island life.
