Make Icon-Only Buttons and Clickable Cards Accessible By Screen Readers #4756

Description
Currently some icon-only buttons and clickable cards on the Ushahidi Platform are not accessible by screen readers, so when a user tabs to that button or card location the screen reader just announces "button". This behaviour can confuse a user that relies heavily on keyboard for navigation as they won't know what the button or card does. I have attached a screen recording of the issue for better understanding.

Expected behaviour
Screen readers should announce the purpose for the button so the user understands the action they are about to perform. I plan to fix this on everywhere the issue occurs on the Ushahidi Platform.

Actual Behaviour
