Accessibility statement
We want everyone to be able to browse this site and donate independently. Here is what we have done, how we checked it, and how to tell us if something gets in your way.
Our commitment
Fondation Ndolo wants everyone to be able to browse this site and give on their own, without help, without traps and without a hidden time limit. This is a voluntary effort: we aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA.
Conformance status
Self-assessment carried out on 2 October 2026, covering all 19 pages of the site, with automated tools and manual tests. Measured results:
- axe-core, on mobile (390 px) and desktop (1440 px): 0 violations of serious or critical level;
- html-validate: 0 errors;
- Lighthouse, accessibility category: 100/100 on the home page, on mobile.
Automated tools only detect part of the problems. If you run into a difficulty, please tell us: it is valuable.
What we have done
| Criterion | Title | What the site does |
|---|---|---|
| 2.4.11 | Focus Not Obscured | The sticky header and the mobile donation bar never hide the focused element: scroll margins are reserved for them. |
| 2.5.7 | Dragging Movements | The impact calculator offers − and + buttons in addition to the slider; the map requires neither dragging nor wheel zoom. |
| 2.5.8 | Target Size | Buttons, navigation links and map pins offer a target of at least 44 × 44 px. |
| 3.2.6 | Consistent Help | The “Contact” link is always in the same place in the header, just before the donate button. |
| 3.3.7 | Redundant Entry | The first name, last name and phone number entered in step 2 of the donation are reused at the payment step, with no re-entry. |
| 3.3.8 | Accessible Authentication | There is no password: managing a monthly gift is done through a simple form. |
| 1.4.12 | Text spacing | The “Airy” setting applies the values from this criterion; the site stays intact at these spacings. |
| 2.2.1 | Timing Adjustable | The Mobile Money confirmation time limit is visible, announced 30 seconds before the end, and can be extended three times. |
| 3.3.4 | Error Prevention | An editable summary comes before payment confirmation, with an explicit label on the button. |
| 1.4.1 | Use of Color | On the map, programmes are told apart by their pictogram and statuses by a shape; colour is only a reinforcement. |
| 1.4.13 | Content on Hover or Focus | Chart and map tooltips stay visible as long as the pointer is over them, and close with Esc. |
| 4.1.3 | Status Messages | Filter results, calculations and confirmations are announced through live regions, without moving focus. |
Test method
- Tools: axe-core, html-validate and Lighthouse, built into the project’s test bench.
- Manual tests carried out: full donation journey with the keyboard alone; display at 320 px wide and zoom up to 200%; reduced motion; dark mode; forced contrast (
forced-colors); navigation without JavaScript. - Tests with screen readers (NVDA with Firefox, VoiceOver on iOS): not carried out to date; they are planned and will be added to this statement.
- Test environment: Chrome on Windows 11, on 2 October 2026.
Sample of pages tested:
Display preferences
The “Display” button, in the header and the footer, opens five settings, applied immediately and remembered on your device. They add to those of your device; they do not replace them.
- Text size: normal, large (112.5%), extra large (125%).
- Text spacing: standard or airy (line height 1.8, wider letter and word spacing).
- Body text font: literary (Literata) or plain, sans serif.
- Contrast: standard or enhanced (black on white, strong borders, underlined links).
- Animations: follow your device or reduced.
Your browser also offers its own settings (zoom, minimum font size, dark theme, reduced motion): the site respects them and never blocks zoom.
Content that is not accessible, and alternatives
- The project map: the complete list of the 16 projects serves the same purpose and is accessible by keyboard and screen reader.
- The charts: each one comes with its data table.
- The annual reports: published in HTML, not PDF.
