TOGETHER, MAKE MORE PEOPLE WALKING, THE WORLD OVER
Top Skills
What We Do
WeWard wants to get more people walking the world over, by any means necessary.
The simple act of walking is good for our bodies, our minds, and the planet. But its immense value has been overlooked and underappreciated.
We know that humans are hardwired for the reward; so we’re creating more ways to playfully motivate people to walk using a free mobile application that rewards its users in a digital money (Wards) for walking. These Wards can be used inside a dedicated e-shop to support a cause, receive gifts or even cash.
After 4 years, WeWard rewards 20 millions of people for walking every day and increases its users' walking time by 24% in average.
