MOKLI – help finder app for young people in need

The NGO KARUNA from Berlin supports children and young people in difficult life situations. In addition to offering counselling and support, KARUNA also seeks to empower the children and young people concerned to organize their own short-term help in emergency situations. To make this option available quickly and easily all over Germany, the charity joined forces with Ubilabs to develop MOKLI, a mobile-first web application with an interactive map on which all important drop-in centers can be found.

Voyager: Story-telling with the new Google Earth

With a major visual and functional refresh, Google Earth recently introduced exciting new features and tools. The highlight is Voyager, a storytelling platform with partner-authored content.

Among them you’ll also find two of our projects, Google Earth View and the Miniatur Wunderland Street View Trek.
