Accessibility Uncovered: A Weekly Post by One Accessibility Team

In 2019, One Accessibility team started this weekly enlightenment post to help Local Guides, enthusiasts, organizations and citizens understand issues around disabilities and how accessibility can improve lives across the world. We shall also profile accessible buildings, devices and services enabling accessibility everywhere for everyone.

Our team also have a webinar “Accessibility Uncovered Webinar Series” where experts are invited to talk about accessibility and inclusion.

We hope our articles will help change the narratives and spur you to support persons with disabilities in your community.

Thank you for reading.

Hi @Raphael-Mahumane thank you for your commendation. We are trying to get more Local Guides on board soon. We want to get a website and other things set so we can move forward together.

Meanwhile for a top LG like you, you can host two meetups for a start and ensure you host one monthly. That’s the basic criteria. Looking forward to seeing Accessible Meetups in SA. Cheers
