Problem
Maintaining engaging and meaningful connections between children and their remote family members can be challenging, especially when physical distance limits shared activities. Traditional video calls often lack interactive elements, leading to shorter, less fulfilling interactions for young children.

The platform integrates reading, drawing, and games directly into the video call interface, enabling shared activities regardless of physical distance. Users can access a library of books, drawing canvases, and interactive games to enjoy together in real-time. By combining communication with entertainment and educational content, Caribu aims to enhance the quality and duration of virtual interactions, fostering stronger relationships between children and their remote family members.
Target Audience
