About Digita11y

Our Mission

Digita11y closes the digital skills gap in underserved communities by providing free, accessible, and inclusive courses in digital literacy, internet safety, coding, and AI literacy — to children, young adults, and people with different abilities in the UK and Kenya.

Our Story

Digita11y was founded to address a clear gap: millions of people — especially those in low-income communities or with different abilities — lack access to quality digital education. Technology shouldn't be a barrier. It should be a bridge.

Our founding team brings together expertise in community engagement, content strategy, and platform development, with a shared commitment to accessibility-first design.

Our Approach to Accessibility

Every course and every page on this site is built to meet WCAG 2.1 AAstandards. That means:

• Video captions and full transcripts
• Screen reader compatibility (tested with NVDA, JAWS, VoiceOver)
• Dyslexia-friendly design: Nunito typeface, ≥16px body text, 1.6 line height
• Keyboard-only navigation throughout
• Colour contrast ratios ≥ 4.5:1 for all text
• Progressive loading for low-bandwidth connections
• Mobile responsive on all devices

Where We Work

Our MVP is focused on the UK — partnering with schools and community organisations to pilot our courses in 2026. We are building towards expansion into Kenya, with localised content and partnerships to follow.

Safeguarding & Compliance

We take the safety of our learners seriously. All UK-based instructors hold current DBS certificates. We are fully GDPR compliant, with transparent consent management and data protection policies. Our safeguarding policies are available on request.
