Mental Well-Being

Problem Statement

Loneliness is the feeling of being disconnected from others, when there is a gap between the social connections we desire and those we receive.

Generation Zs surveyed are significantly more likely than any other generation to experience the feelings associated with loneliness. In fact, almost 30% of Gen Zs we surveyed in Singapore feel that they have no one to talk to about their struggles. This is despite them being active users of social media.

How can we make it easier to receive the right doses of meaningful social connection?

Project Description

Kura Kura aims to help Gen Zs build meaningful connections by creating a safe space for close friends to understand one another on a deeper level and build a greater sense of empathy and vulnerability. We do this through a gamified app that incorporates bite-sized social journaling prompts, a guessing game with questions designed to spark conversations and a postcard feature that allows peers to share words of affirmation.
