Empowering People. Enhancing Mission Impact.

At Mauwe, we understand that NGOs face unique pressures: delivering on critical missions while navigating resource constraints, complex global workforces, and evolving donor expectations. Your people are at the heart of your impact – and yet, balancing culture, compliance, and change can be challenging.

That’s where we come in.

Common Pain Points for NGOs:
• Navigating multi-country HR compliance while maintaining local relevance
• Managing high turnover and retaining committed, mission-driven talent
• Embedding diversity, equity, and inclusion into organizational DNA
• Aligning HR policy and practice with donor and audit requirements
• Supporting staff through workforce transitions, restructures, or crises
• Coaching leaders and managers to lead with clarity and compassion in complexity
• Creating HR systems that are scalable, human-centered, and values-aligned
