The Living Pono Project is dedicated to growing futures for all. We are rooted in Hawaiian cultural values with the goal to help children enter adulthood with capacities for social and personal self-sufficency |
|
The Living Pono Project's mission is to revitalize our Hawaiian culture though education, outreach, and environmental restoration. We provide educational resources to k-12 students with an emphasis on perpetuating the Hawaiian culture. We also provide work related postsecondary education and employment opportunities for adults with disabilities. The LPP is inspired and guided by many core Hawaiian values, especially the Aloha spirit and being Pono. The founders of LPP believe that as the people of Hawaii we have a responsibility to take care of our people and the aina so that future generations of Native Hawaiians and islanders can thrive.

Protecting ʻĀina (through Conservation Easements)
We are raising funds to purchase 240 acres in Waiehu to create a Pu'uhonua for Hawaiian agriculture and Polynesian food crops. The land is being sold for $3.5million and we are asking DLNR Legacy Land Conservation Program for funding to keep this Prime Ag land in Ag. Our portion to raise is $800,000. We have a long way to go but we won't stop till we succeed. Mahalo to my fellow founders of the Living Pono Project Mercer Vicens, Anella Saito-Takabayashi, Cory Vicens, Chana Makale'a Dudoit Ane, Renee Vega, Maleko Uchimura, Darlene Vicens Ane, and Kahai Ane.
