Globally, nearly 3 billion people are digitally disconnected, about one third of the world’s population. Entire communities are unrepresented and without critical, timely information. But these communities do have simple mobile phones and a desire to connect to the world. Viamo is a tech social enterprise that provides that connection to spark life-changing information exchanges, offering services for all sectors of International Development.
