Accessibility statement

This website should work for everyone: on any phone, on a slow connection, with a keyboard or a screen reader.

SIA works with people in places where connections are slow and phones are shared. We want everyone to be able to find a programme, apply and reach us, whatever their device or ability.

We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at level AA, the standard most governments and international organisations use.

Found a problem?

Tell us which page and what went wrong. If you need information in another format, ask and we will help.

Part 1

What we have done

  • Pages work on small phones and with text made bigger, and every button is large enough to tap.
  • Everything can be used with a keyboard, and the place you are on is always clearly marked.
  • Text and backgrounds have strong contrast, and colour is never the only way information is shown.
  • Photos have descriptions for screen readers, and headings follow a clear order.
  • A data saver switch replaces photos with a light pattern, and moving effects stop for people who ask their device to reduce motion.
  • Forms say what went wrong and how to fix it, and keep your answers if you lose your connection.
  • You can install the website as an app that keeps working offline.

Part 2

Languages

The website is in English. The team replies in Urdu or English, and you can apply on WhatsApp or send a voice note in Urdu, Balochi or Pashto: the team will complete the form with you.

Part 3

What still needs work

  • Some older reports and documents are PDF files that may not work well with screen readers. Ask us and we will send the information in another format.
  • The map of where we work is easier to read as the list next to it.
  • Content from other websites that we link to is outside our control.

Part 4

How we test

The website was tested against WCAG 2.1 AA with automated checks (axe) and by hand, with a keyboard and on phones, while it was built in 2026. This does not mean it fully conforms: we fix problems as we find them. We check new pages before they go live.

Part 5

Tell us

If something on this website does not work for you, tell us which page and what happened in the feedback form, or on WhatsApp. If you need information in another format, say so in the form.
