For all the parents out there, we know it’s difficult to try and be superhumans during these strange and uncertain times. It’s a massive challenge to balance work and family life at home, juggling all the obstacles that come with this new pandemic-induced lifestyle. At Kiva, we want to help in any way we can.

It’s often difficult to find options that are interesting, educational and fun! That’s where we’ve got you set, with Kiva U.
