Our initiatives are ever-evolving. Currently, we have several projects underway, including regular keiki clinics that help align the next generation with traditional Hawaiian values, a Maui wa'a mental health restoration program that connects Maui fire survivors to the healing power of the ocean, and we have a team in Upcountry Maui to assist in the community recovery from the Kula fires.
See our Projects page for more information about each project, and contact us if you are interested in getting involved.
On August 8, 2023, Maui was impacted by the worst natural disaster in Hawaii's state history and the deadliest wildfire incident in the United States in over a century. The disaster was triggered by a wind storm, with wind speeds as strong as 80mph, combined with extremely dry conditions.
While the Lahaina fire was the largest on the island, there were three other fires burning at the same time: Central Maui, Kula, and Olinda. Many people lost their homes, businesses, loved ones, or their own lives. Native wildlife ecosystems were heavily impacted and Maui's tourism industry was decimated.
In the wake of the fire, we operated an emergency response and resource hub in Kula, providing essential supplies to residents, including food, water, first aid, and more. This location was used to dispatch emergency response units to the affected areas in the community.
Our ongoing efforts are aimed at mitigating the long term negative effects of this disaster, as well as providing resources to those affected. These include fuel load removal, endemic restoration, and community outreach.
