Global Accessibility for People with Disabilities

By Mildred de la Torre | Resource Developer

The purpose of the Global Accessibility Awareness Day (GAAD), which was celebrated on May 21, 2026, is to raise awareness plus support people with disabilities who depend on digital accessibility to facilitate their education, employment and full participation in society by providing communication applications, readers and technological assistance devices that promote independent living.

Even though the official GAAD day has passed you can still support a person with disabilities in need by donating for the distribution of these essential resources. You can also help us raise consciousness of the importance of supporting inclusive communities for all by sharing awareness messages in your social media and tagging us.
