Accessibility
A foundation that distributes wheelchairs should not publish a website that excludes the people using them. Here is exactly what we have done, and what we have not done yet.
Our standard
This website is built to meet WCAG 2.2 Level AA. That is the international standard for accessible web content, and the level most public bodies are legally held to.
What that means in practice
- Keyboard only. Every link, button, menu and form field can be reached and operated with the Tab key alone, and the focus indicator is always visible.
- Screen readers. The page uses real headings, landmarks and lists rather than styled text, so a screen reader can navigate by structure. Decorative images carry empty alt text; meaningful ones are described.
- Colour contrast. Body text and interface text meet or exceed the 4.5:1 contrast ratio in both light and dark modes.
- Colour is never the only signal. Nothing on this site is communicated by colour alone.
- Reduced motion. If your device is set to reduce motion, every animation on this site — including the moving light in the header image — is switched off, not merely slowed.
- Dark and light modes. Both are fully supported, and the site follows your device setting unless you choose otherwise.
- Zoom and resize. Text can be enlarged to 200% without loss of content or horizontal scrolling.
- Works without JavaScript. If scripts fail or are blocked, every page still renders completely and every link still works.
Built for real Nigerian bandwidth
Accessibility in Nigeria is also a question of data cost and device age. This site carries no framework, no tracking scripts and no video. Its illustrations are vector graphics measured in kilobytes rather than photographs measured in megabytes. It is designed to open quickly on a mid-range Android phone over a weak mobile connection, because that is how most people will read it.
Language
Osun is a Yorùbá-speaking state. This site can be read in English or Yorùbá using the EN / YO switch in the header. Yorùbá is written with full diacritics, because the tone marks change the meaning of words.
Where we fall short
Being honest is part of being accessible. At present:
- The Yorùbá translation now covers the whole site, but it has not yet been checked by a first-language Yorùbá speaker. We are looking for volunteers to proofread it.
- The site has not yet been tested with users who rely on assistive technology. Automated checks are not a substitute for that, and we intend to arrange it.
- There is no audio or plain-language version of the site yet.
Tell us if we have failed you
If any part of this website is difficult or impossible for you to use, we want to know — and we will fix it rather than explain it away. Please contact us and describe what happened, what device or software you were using, and which page you were on.
