Find My Kidsstarted to offer its very useful mobile application free of charge to all users in Turkey.
While Turkey is trying to heal the wounds of the earthquake disaster, the second education period is about to start in schools. Millions of students will return to their schools and classrooms in cities outside the earthquake zone on Monday. Find My Kids has started to offer its mobile application with many features free of charge to all users in Turkey, in order to help parents who are even more worried due to the earthquake. Whether the distance between home and school is long or short, parents are naturally curious about their children on the way to school. According to the research conducted by Find My Kids by examining user data in city centers, the schools that children attend are on average 1.9 kilometers from their homes. 10 percent of students follow more than 5 kilometers to school every morning.

With the students returning to school on Monday, parents involuntarily ask, “Has my child arrived at school?”, “He is out of school, but where and when will he be home right now?” They will begin to ask such questions almost every day. The fastest answer to such questions can be obtained with location tracking applications that show the location of the children instantly. The mobile application Find My Kids, which enables parents to track the location of their children in real time, conducted an interesting research in which it processes user data with permission and anonymously. Find My Kids, which has 3 million active users around the world and more than 100 thousand active users in Turkey, calculated the average number of trips children in our country make between their homes and schools.
The analysis carried out by Find My Kids, taking into account the use in the city centers of cities with high populations such as Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir and Bursa in last January, reveals quite remarkable results. Accordingly, the schools that children attend are on average 1.9 kilometers from their homes. On the other hand, 10 percent of children follow more than 5 kilometers to school every morning. Whether the distance between home and school is long or short, parents are naturally curious about their children on the way to school. Find My Kids started to offer its mobile application free of charge to all users in Turkey during the earthquake relief campaign, in order to help the parents whose anxiety increased after the disaster.

After the earthquakes, Find My Kids can be used free of charge all over Turkey.
Find My Kids Country Manager Neşen Yücel said, “We are deeply saddened by the losses suffered during the earthquakes. We share the pain of everyone in the region and their loved ones. We wish mercy to those who lost their lives, condolences to their relatives and a speedy recovery to the injured. We are living in a very difficult situation as a country. However, our students also need to return to their schools. Of course, this is not an easy situation for parents. Because there is both the anxiety caused by the earthquake in the hearts and the rush to seek a solution to this anxiety in the minds. Moreover, we have many students coming to other cities from the earthquake zone. At this point, we have started to offer our application free of charge all over Turkey after the earthquakes in order to help produce a solution to the concerns of parents. We will continue to offer free usage during the aid campaign until the situation in our country is somewhat normalized. For now, anyone who downloads and installs Find My Kids on their phone can enjoy all the features of the application without any restrictions.
