About Us
We are a community based 501(c)3 Nonprofit operating in ʻEwa, Oʻahu working to address climate change and environmental injustices to restore the health of our lands, waters and people.
We offer facilitated community workdays, place-based educational opportunities for K-College level students, and conduct walk-talk stories around the project sites upon request. We hope to continue inspiring the next generation of guardians and protectors, connecting traditional practices to modern innovation, and rehabilitating our natural resources in Honouliuli and Waipahu.
Hui o Ho‘ohonua serves as a centralized hub that initiates, administrates, operates, and maintains a community network connecting all levels to accomplish our program goals.
Impossible is where we start
