Papahana Kuaola is a Native Hawaiian nonprofit organization committed to nurturing a deep connection between people and ʻāina (land). Through Hawaiian culture, environmental stewardship, and place-based education, we strive to empower our community. Our roots are in Heʻeia, Oʻahu, where we foster a sense of place and belonging. Our mission is to educate and inspire individuals of all ages to care for Hawaiʻi's rich natural and cultural heritage. We believe that by sharing our story and values, we can cultivate a movement of stewardship for future generations.
