Charities, NGO's & Education

Oakas works with international NGOs, humanitarian charities, and education providers to prepare for the operational, reputational, and safety challenges that can disrupt their missions. These organisations often operate in politically sensitive, high-threat, or resource-limited settings, where the margin for error is small and the stakes are high, from lives saved to communities educated . We support leaders, boards, and field teams with the tools, plans, and skills to operate securely, respond decisively to crises, and maintain the trust of stakeholders, donors, and beneficiaries. From running full-scale humanitarian deployment exercises, to guiding NGOs through complex cross-border coordination, to helping universities prepare for cyber incidents and reputational challenges, Oakas blends global operational experience with the cultural sensitivity needed to deliver in diverse environments.
