Unleashing Potential
Mohala i ka wai ka maka o ka pua - unfolded by the waters are the faces of the flowers. Flowers bloom where the conditions are good.
Our goal is to shift the conditions to support the strengths and assets of land and people to disrupt poverty, protect our resources, slow climate change, and end social unrest.
As a group, we will work on nothing but the most difficult, enduring challenges facing our paeʻāina:
Aloha ʻāina and food security
Learning and growth across all ages
Protecting and strengthening vulnerable populations
Community-based economic development
Wellbeing of individuals, families, communities, and ʻāina
What guides us?
Hawaiian values and culturally-grounded approaches
Trauma-informed practice
Asset-framing that focuses on strengths and not deficits
A team approach to our work
Strong belief that change is possible
