About WEGO

What is WEGO?

Warga Emas Goes Online (WEGO) is a project for senior citizens aged 55 years old and above.

Warga Emas in Bahasa Malaysia means senior citizens; and our vision is to empower senior citizens to be self-reliant by utilizing mobile functions and applications. 

When we started this project, it was because one of our “popo” (grandma) struggled a lot with using her smartphone to give us calls during the Covid-19 period. As we helped her, we realized that this was a real gap that needed to be addressed.
Our mission is to narrow the digital divide between generations through structured volunteer-based mobile literacy programs for senior citizens.
