West Hawaiʻi
New & Growing
Listening to our community.
Learning from those around us.
Sharing the stories that deserve to be remembered.
Hoʻōla ʻŌiwi Foundation is a new nonprofit growing here in West Hawaiʻi. Our work is taking shape through relationships with families, schools, community organizations and the people already doing the work. From education and maternal health to culture, wellness and storytelling, we are learning where we can help and building from there.
