Our Mission is dedicated to perpetuating and teaching the skills, knowledge & practices of our kupuna (ancestors) thru the interpretation and restoration, care & protection of the natural & cultural resources that are located in Haena state park.
Aina. Culture. Community.
For over 20 years, Waipa Foundation has worked with the community to manage the 1,600 acre ahupua'a of Waipa, located on the north shore of Kaua'i. Waipa is a place where folks can connect with the ‘aina (that which feeds us - the land and resources), and learn about our local values and lifestyle through laulima (many hands working together).
We are a group of people working to care for Hanalei's parks, create safer streets and improve the water quality in Hanalei Bay where we fish, surf and swim. We recognize the importance of community engagement, strong governmental relationships and capital. We invite you to take the initiative and get involved.
Dedicated to tropical plant research, conservation, and education since 1964.
National Tropical Botanical Garden (NTBG) is a not-for-profit institution, dedicated to discovering, saving, and studying the world's tropical plants and sharing what is learned.
Hanalei Watershed Hui is a 501(c)(3) non-profit environmental organization that strives to care for the Ahupua’a of Hanalei, Waioli, Waipa, and Waikoko guided by Hawaiian and other principles of sustainability and stewardship, integrity and balance, cooperation and aloha, cultural equity and mutual respect.
Nā Maka Onaona translates to more than just alluring eyes. It is a poetic reference to a dear friend, someone who softens your gaze with aloha when you look upon them. This is the same lens that we view our ʻāina, with deep aloha and familiarity. These are the eyes of our kupa ʻāina, the eyes of the people who are intimately familiar with their land.
We believe that Hawai‘i is the most beautiful and special place on earth. What makes Hawai‘i so special is not our built environment, but the natural beauty and rich cultural heritage of these islands.
Āina Hoʻokupu O Kīlauea’s (AHK’s) goal is to facilitate solutions to economic, social, and agricultural/food security challenges that the greater Kīlauea community faces.
We are creating a bridge from farmers to residents, restaurants, hotels, hospitals & schools and aim to improve community resilience and food security on the island of Kaua'i. We provide an alternative option for farmers and food producers to continue sales in an increasingly unstable Hawai'i.
The people of Hawaii are one ʻohana. Hawaii Foodbank provides food so that no one in our family goes hungry. We work to gather food and support from our communities. We then distribute food through charitable agencies to those in need. Our mission is from the heart, and we will fulfill our mission with integrity, humanity and aloha.
