Kumano I Ke Ala

Kumano I Ke Ala O Makaweli (KIKA) is a Native Hawaiian-led community-based nonprofit rooted in the ancestral lands of West Kauaʻi. Guided by ʻike kūpuna (ancestral knowledge) and driven by aloha ʻāina (love for the land), KIKA works to restore and protect wahi kūpuna (ancestral places), reclaim food sovereignty, and uplift the next generation of cultural and ecological stewards. Through loʻi kalo (wetland taro) restoration, native reforestation, and ʻāina-based education, KIKA honors the intergenerational responsibility to mālama ʻāina (care for the land) while empowering youth and families with the knowledge and skills needed to thrive in their homelands. Our work is about more than sustainability — it is about restoration, healing, and regeneration of ʻāina, culture, and identity.
Na Mahiʻai o Maui
Sustainable Native Food Sovereignty & Food Production for Maui Farmers

NHP is working with native Hawaiian farmers on the island of Maui to help provide support to help increase traditional farming practices, education and training, food security, and workforce development. With 90% of food being imported from outside of Hawaii, it is imperative to provide a more stable and sustainable food sources on island.
Currently, the need for most farmers are farming equipment and labor. Farmers are seeking assistance to secure funding to purchase shared equipment that can be used by 6-8 farms throughout the year. NHP is working to help develop projects and write grants to provide the resources needed to increase food security on Maui.
