WHAT WEB ACCESSIBILITY IS
An accessible website allows individuals with disabilities to navigate through the site with ease and enjoy a similar level of access and experience as other visitors. This is achieved through adherence to accessibility standards and the use of assistive technologies such as screen readers, keyboard navigation, and other adaptive tools.

DECLARATION OF PARTIAL COMPLIANCE DUE TO THIRD-PARTY CONTENT
Some pages on this website may include content provided by third-party platforms or services that are not fully under our control, such as embedded donation tools, forms, or external media. The accessibility of these elements depends on the accessibility practices of the third-party providers.
As a result, we declare partial compliance with the accessibility standard for these specific elements. We actively strive to work with third-party services that prioritize accessibility.
