ACCESSIBILITY STATEMENT
Accessibility Statement
Last Updated: Friday, May 22, 2026
The Private Diaspora is committed to making our website, resources, application process, membership information, and digital experiences as accessible and inclusive as possible.
We believe people exploring, relocating to, visiting, investing in, or building a meaningful life connected to Ghana should be able to access information with dignity, clarity, and ease.
Our goal is to provide a website experience that is usable by as many people as possible, including people with disabilities, accessibility needs, mobility considerations, vision impairments, hearing impairments, cognitive differences, neurodivergence, temporary injuries, language barriers, or technology limitations.
1. Our Accessibility Commitment
The Private Diaspora is working to provide a website that is clear, easy to navigate, and accessible across devices.
We aim to support accessibility by focusing on:
-
Clear page structure
-
Readable text
-
Strong color contrast
-
Descriptive headings
-
Simple navigation
-
Mobile-friendly design
-
Clear calls to action
-
Accessible forms where possible
-
Alternative ways to contact us
-
Respectful support for people with accessibility needs
We understand that accessibility is an ongoing process, not a one-time task.
2. Website Accessibility Goals
The Private Diaspora aims to align our website with generally recognized accessibility standards, including the principles of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines, commonly known as WCAG.
These principles focus on making web content:
-
Perceivable
-
Operable
-
Understandable
-
Robust
While we are working toward stronger accessibility across the site, we cannot guarantee that every page, feature, file, third-party tool, form, image, video, document, or linked resource will be fully accessible at all times.
3. Accessibility Support for Members and Applicants
Because The Private Diaspora may support people with relocation, travel, housing, transportation, wellness, healthcare navigation, experiences, and provider introductions, we take accessibility needs seriously.
Applicants and members may share accessibility-related information when it is relevant to their request, such as:
-
Mobility needs
-
Transportation considerations
-
Wheelchair or walker access
-
Seating preferences
-
Health-related access notes
-
Dietary restrictions or allergies
-
Communication preferences
-
Vision or hearing accessibility needs
-
Support needs for events, experiences, or provider appointments
Please only share information you are comfortable providing.
Accessibility-related details may be used to help us understand your needs, coordinate support, communicate with providers, or recommend appropriate resources. This aligns with our privacy practices and our commitment to handling sensitive information with care.
4. Third-Party Tools, Providers, and Platforms
The Private Diaspora may use third-party tools or platforms for website hosting, forms, payment processing, scheduling, email, member portals, community communication, maps, booking tools, videos, documents, or provider directories.
We may also introduce members to independent providers, such as drivers, realtors, healthcare providers, wellness providers, legal professionals, event providers, and other service providers.
While we aim to work with respectful and capable providers, third-party websites, platforms, providers, and services may have their own accessibility practices, limitations, terms, and policies.
The Private Diaspora does not fully control the accessibility of third-party tools, linked websites, or independent provider systems. Members and visitors are encouraged to contact third-party providers directly with accessibility questions when needed.
5. Videos, Images, PDFs, and Digital Content
We aim to make digital content easier to understand and access.
Where possible, we may work toward:
-
Adding clear titles to videos
-
Using readable captions or summaries
-
Providing descriptive text for key images
-
Creating clear PDF layouts
-
Using plain language where appropriate
-
Organizing digital guides and resources with headings
-
Avoiding unnecessary visual clutter
-
Making important information available in written form
Some older, third-party, downloadable, embedded, or externally hosted materials may not be fully accessible.
6. Forms and Applications
The Private Diaspora may use online forms for membership applications, inquiries, provider requests, event registrations, and contact submissions.
We aim to make our forms clear and easy to complete. However, if you experience difficulty using a form, reading a section, submitting information, or accessing part of the website, please contact us directly.
We can provide an alternative way to communicate when reasonably possible.
7. Alternative Access and Support

8. Ongoing Improvements
The Private Diaspora is committed to improving accessibility over time.
As the website, membership experience, provider network, resources, events, and private experiences grow, we may continue reviewing and updating our accessibility practices.
This may include improving page layouts, updating forms, reviewing color contrast, adding clearer language, improving mobile usability, organizing content more effectively, and making important information easier to access.
9. No Guarantee of Full Accessibility
While we are committed to accessibility and inclusion, we cannot guarantee that every part of the website, membership platform, third-party tool, provider experience, downloadable resource, video, image, event, or service will be fully accessible to every person at all times.
Accessibility may also vary based on location, provider availability, venue conditions, transportation options, local infrastructure, weather, internet access, power availability, and other factors outside our control.
