Our Story

Okaou began with a simple but powerful motivation: the fear of losing a child, even just for a moment. As parents we wanted our children to be able to reach us if they got separated, but they were too young to have phones. We needed a way for them to ask a kind stranger for help without sharing our personal information.

Why We Exist

Losing sight of your child is terrifying, and traditional ID tags often display personal details openly. We set out to create something private, easy and kid‑friendly. Okaou cards make it simple for a good‑hearted stranger to contact you without exposing your phone number.

What We Believe

Privacy & Security first
Your family’s data is never shared. Calls and messages are routed through our system so your phone number stays private.

Ease of use
A quick scan of the QR code instantly connects you with whoever found your child. No apps or downloads needed.

Community matters
We're built by parents, for parents. We listen to your feedback and continually improve our products to fit real family life.
