We are building Yayando for parents — just like ourselves

Because finding activities for children shouldn't mean endless scrolling through Instagram, Google, Facebook, and chat groups.

It all started with a very simple problem

After moving to a new country, finding activities for children turned out to be much harder than expected.

Sports clubs, workshops, family events, play spaces — information was scattered across dozens of websites, Instagram pages, Telegram groups, and local event listings.

Every search became a small research project:
What is suitable for my child's age? What's nearby? What's actually up to date and worth visiting?

That's when the idea for Yayando was born.

Not as yet another event directory, but as a practical tool for real family life.

A platform where parents can quickly discover activities for children, family events, and new ideas for their free time — without chaos and endless searching.

Today, Yayando is growing into an international family discovery platform, bringing together activities for children and parents across different cities and countries.

What we believe in

We believe parents should spend less time searching and more time creating meaningful moments with their families.

Yayando helps families discover:

— children's clubs and classes
— family events
— workshops
— interesting places to visit
— ideas for weekends and free time

Our goal is to make finding family activities easier, faster, and more enjoyable for modern parents.

We continuously add new cities, activities, and places to make it easier for parents to discover the best opportunities for their children and family time.

We carefully listen to feedback, learn from families' needs, and constantly work to make discovering activities even simpler and more convenient.

Our goal is to create a space where parents can easily find the best opportunities for their children, while local organizations can showcase their programs and connect with new audiences.
