Accessibility Statement

our commitment to accessibility

​Hope Scholars Honduras is dedicated to empowering Honduran students through faith-based education and ensuring that our website, www.hopescholarshonduras.org, is accessible to all visitors, including those with disabilities. We strive to create an inclusive digital experience that reflects our mission of fostering hope, community, and empowerment. Built on the Wix platform, our website is designed with accessibility in mind, aligning with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1, Level AA, and applicable laws such as the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

Accessibility Features

We leverage Wix’s accessibility tools and features to enhance usability, including:

  • Keyboard Navigation: Our website supports navigation using a keyboard, allowing users to access all interactive elements without a mouse.

  • Screen Reader Compatibility: Content is structured with semantic HTML and ARIA (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) landmarks to ensure compatibility with screen readers like NVDA and VoiceOver.

  • Alt Text for Images: Images include descriptive alternative text to convey meaning to users with visual impairments.

  • Color Contrast: We use a trauma-informed color palette (#D4A373, #5A7D5A, #73A9AD) designed to meet WCAG 2.1 contrast ratios, ensuring readability for users with low vision.

  • Responsive Design: The website adapts to various devices and screen sizes, supporting users with motor or visual impairments.

  • Wix Accessibility Wizard: We utilize Wix’s built-in accessibility auditing tool to identify and address potential barriers, such as missing alt text or improper heading structures.

Ongoing Efforts

We are committed to continuously improving our website’s accessibility. Our efforts include:

  • Regularly auditing the website using Wix’s Accessibility Wizard and external tools to identify and fix issues.

  • Training our web team on WCAG 2.1 guidelines and best practices for inclusive design.

  • Testing with assistive technologies to ensure compatibility for users with diverse needs.

  • Updating content to maintain clear, simple language that is easy to understand, in line with our trauma-informed approach.

Limitations and Feedback

While we aim to meet WCAG 2.1 Level AA standards, some areas of our Wix-hosted website may rely on third-party integrations (e.g., social media widgets, embedded videos) that we do not fully control. We are working to ensure these components are as accessible as possible. If you encounter any accessibility barriers, such as difficulty navigating, accessing content, or using forms, please let us know so we can address them promptly.
