About Viamo

Mobile technology is revolutionizing how organizations engage with the people they serve. More than 96% of the world's population has access to a mobile phone, meaning it is now possible to reach nearly every single person on the planet. Yet 3 billion people living in emerging markets still lack access to relevant, timely, and engaging information in their local languages, and their voices remain underheard. The organizations that serve them lack the technology and capacity to reach them, and many are unaware of The power of mobile technology to meet their organizational goals.

Viamo believes that information is power. We connect individuals and organizations using digital technology to make better decisions.

Viamo is the #1 Digital Platform connecting these organizations to the Next Billion users who don't have access to the internet and we are well on our way to meeting our goal of reaching 100 million people annually.
