'O ka ha o ka 'aina ke ola o ka po'e
The breath of the land is the life of the people
In the back of Kalihi valley, in the 'ili of 'Ouaua and Maluawai, the community unites creating a land base for health called Ho'oulu 'Aina. Children and elders of all cultures join to restore this land to health. As we work to heal the land, we find that we, too, are healed. Working together brings us closer to each other, the land, our cultures, and ourselves.
Mission Statement
Ho'oulu 'Aina is a welcoming place of refuge
where people of all cultures sustain and propagate
the connections between the health of the land
and the health of the people
where people of all cultures sustain and propagate
the connections between the health of the land
