On this LINK the French Softonic has written a nice article about ” Eldy, the browser for the elderly”.
Here’s a brief abstract:
With grandparents, it's often the same story. Unreadable icons, too small texts, windows no end, there fast enough to get discouraged if you have never been in contact with the world of computers. “Anyway, I do not understand! It is not for me!”.
Yes but now, did not count Eldy, a browser specially designed for the elderly. Developed by a nonprofit, Here is an overview of its very special features. Before use, of course you need to install the program. Eldy has a very simple installation process and French. Just follow the wizard and click “Next”. For this step, we still recommend to seniors to be accompanied.
Eldy is, in no doubt, good software that deserves your attention. Allow people the third and fourth age is to conquer the web, this is a very good idea to start.

Here’s the abstract of the 2010 annual letter to Eldy.net volunteer:
“dear All
thank you for all your efforts to localize Eldy in your languages, from the very first translation to the latest.
We’ve seen Brazilian, Mexican, Swedish, to mention a few. …
Training are going on in Switzerland, US, Ireland, UK, … every where.
It’s very strong feeling for us to see Eldy spreading so much in so far territories, as a software and as a social system with volunteers and people teaching seniors how to find their way into this brand new world interconnected, far yet one click away.
The last thought of the year is for you, dear volunteers: if you ever can please pay us a visit in Vicenza , it will be a pleasure to take you to Venice and spend a nice evening in front of a Pizza and a glass of wine.
Finally, I’ve just received latest translations contributions: here’s to you Eldy in Arabic, by Mohamed.
So, let’s recall one of the first translations (Ukrainian), by Vladimir and let’s preview the latest:

A nice article on Eldy has appeared on MakeUseof.com
There are more than 6 million people over the age of 60 who aren’t familiar with the Internet, which is understandable since most operating systems available out there just aren’t exactly geared towards the elderly. There are things that will take some time to get used to, things like file browsers that hint at lots of folders that you’ll never touch and sometimes even cryptic error messages that don’t help much in resolving a problem.
The Eldy Association is an Italian non-profit organization looking to make it easier for new computer users to learn about email, browsing the web and more. According to its website, the Association’s goal is to “reach out to the elderly and disabled community with a simple computer program that can encourage their staying active and social, thus reducing their isolation and loneliness”.
What Is Eldy?
The resulting computer program that the Eldy Association came up with is Eldy, a bundle of essential programs in a easy-to-understand interface for the elderly, with big text and simple, recognizable icons, that has been translated to 22 languages. Think of it as a blown-up mini-operating system that contains an email client, chat system, web browser and even access to a simplified version of Notepad, Eldy TV, and Skype.
