Platform Intern, Nigeria

About Viamo

Mobile technology is revolutionizing how organizations engage with their end users. 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 connects people and organizations through mobile and voice-based technology, including AI, so communities can access information and make their voices heard without internet access. Our services help partners overcome language, literacy and connectivity barriers. Learn more at viamo.io.
