Our Projects
Kommit
The mediation service that takes senior citizens out of loneliness
The "Kommit" project, initiated by four students from Karlsruhe, aims to combat loneliness among senior women. They recognised that it is not a lack of events that is the problem, but barriers such as a lack of internet affinity and mobility that prevent senior women from participating. Kommit offers a matchmaking service that proactively reaches out to senior women and invites them to social activities. The service is aimed at around 19 million senior women in Germany, especially those who live alone.
