“From our best month to zero revenue,” KidzApp is a prime example of how homegrown UAE start-ups have shifted dramatically into digital since COVID-19 took over.

KidzApp, an app connecting parents with enriching experiences for their kids, is one of the countless small businesses, the backbone of our community, who need support and it’s imperative that these small businesses bounce back for our economy and society to thrive once more. That’s the ethos of Visa’s new support for small businesses campaign, ‘Where you shop matters‘ which is inspiring YOU, the shopper, to think and shop local, and encouraging businesses to adapt to the new ways of working. Businesses that want to grow should consider a digital presence, to fix-up their eCommerce offering so customers have a smooth website experience!

‘Where you shop matters’ is telling the touching stories of local business owners most impacted by COVID-19

Kidzapp provides confidential and affordable individual psychological therapy to children, adolescents, adults, and couples

Offering both counselling and psychological services for the treatment of depression and anxiety, and connecting parents with enriching activities for their kids. Pre-COVID, KidzApp was primarily a face-to-face business, once COVID-19 hit, however, the business was forced to turn on its head dramatically, to continue a smooth flow of business. KidzApp now joins countless other businesses who are working on their digital transformation, read the other stories here.
