-
Focuses on cultural workshops, skill-set building, mālama kupuna, mālama ‘ike, connection to state & county resources.

‘Ohana foundations for single-parent homes can be difficult. Pili Aloha focuses on the well-being and connections of parents and their keiki to share in secure and safe places while meeting those in similar situations.
‘Aha Ka Mauli Ola
Through Oli and Ho’a Mana, there was Mauli Ola. From the wahine of Ho’inana I Ke Ola in Lahaina, to the exapanse of lehulehu in E Ka Mau Iho I Ke Ola No. This video is a tribute to the strength, resilience, and aloha of the people of Lāhainā. With deep humility and gratitude, we reflect on the honor of being welcomed into their ʻohana and trusted to hold space alongside them. Guided by Kumu & Kahupono Kanoelani Davis, we have witnessed not only their courage and leadership, but also their vulnerability and unwavering spirit to rise again.
Mahalo to ʻUlu U’ilani Miner-Ching, ʻUlu Lehualani Harris, and Shannon for their generosity and aloha, and to Kaiaulu Initiatives for providing a home for this important work.
Ola ka ʻOhana o Lāhainā – the family of Lāhainā lives on.
