About Viamo

Mobile technology is revolutionizing how organizations engage with populations 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, three billion people still lack access to relevant and timely information in local languages and their voices remain under heard.

Viamo's vision is to be the organization that brings the world's knowledge to the next billion people via voice. 

The “Road to 100 Million Users” requires a product that is safe, affordable, available in local languages, and functional on any mobile phone. We manage the Viamo Platform, a national public information service called 8-4-5 in Rwanda. By calling 8-4-5 through an MTN connection, anyone in Rwanda with access to a basic mobile phone can access information on topics such as health, agriculture, financial literacy and more via IVR and a generative IA voice assistant, “Miss Baza”. To meet our scale and sustainability objectives, we are shifting from a project-funded model to a market-led utility embedded in the daily lives of users and the operations of partners.
