01What it does

What Kahaluu Kuahewa does

Mission

Our mission is to uplift the collective of aina (land), community, and culture, and preserve ancestral knowledge by reconnecting people to the land. We do this through indigenous grassroots initiatives, sustainable agriculture, and reforestation of native plants, combating climate change and preserving native ecosystems. Through aina-based learning, we offer opportunities to learn traditional hawaiian practices, support local food production, and maintain our islands' unique biodiversity.

As stated on its FY2024 Form 990.

Program

  1. We aim to support and enhance the biocultural resources of the forest and agricultural lands within the ma uka region of the ahupuaa of kahaluu, to protect and revitalize the natural and cultural resources that enable traditional and customary native hawaiian practices, and to engage the greater kona community through educational outreach programs and initiatives relating to a traditional regenerative agroforestry model of farming and community-based stewardship of natural resources.
