Worldwide Partnership for Support and Integration (WPSI)
 

At WPSI, we are committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users, including people with disabilities. We strive to adhere to the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AA standards and continuously improve our website’s usability.

​

​

We aim to:
✅ Ensure our website (www.wpsi-syria.org) is perceivable, operable, and understandable for all.
✅ Regularly test and update our platform for accessibility compliance.
✅ Train staff on inclusive digital practices.

3. Known Limitations

​

While we strive for full accessibility, some areas may have limitations:
⚠ Third-Party Content: Embedded tools (e.g., donation platforms) may not fully meet WCAG standards.
⚠ PDFs: Older reports may not be screen-reader optimized.
⚠ Video Captions: Some legacy videos lack subtitles (we’re working to update them).
