Overview

Mission

With the advent of western contact in Hawaii circa 1778, native hawaiians suffered from a high rate of western-generated diseases, topped the prisons rolls in Hawaii and suffered tremendously in grasping and keeping up, on a competitive basis, with western education. As a result, native hawaiians have historically been undereducated and underrepresented in the professional and business ranks both in Hawaii and on the U.S.mainland, and have occupied the lower rungs of Hawaii's socio-economic latter. This corporation recognizes that the key addressing these problems is a strong educational foundation followed by meaningful educational opportunities at all levels and for all age groups in the the hawaiian community.

What it reported doing in 2024
