We are thrilled to announce that we have been awarded $100,000 from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) to support our Ka Pa\u02bbalana Homeless Family Education Program in East Hawai\u02bbi Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To fulfill our mission of inspiring and equipping families and communities for success and service, Ka Pa\u2018alana provides comprehensive family education programming for homeless and at-risk families with young children. The program operates across O\u02bbahu from the Leeward Coast to Kaka\u02bbako and Kailua, as well as East Hawai\u02bbi Island.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Annually, Ka Pa\u02bbalana serves about 500 children ages birth to five and their caregivers by preparing children for school, equipping caregivers to be their child\u2019s first and most important teacher, and empowering adults to not only move toward self-sufficiency, but to give back to their community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are ecstatic to receive this grant from the Office of Hawaiian Affairs,\u201d said Jan E. Hanohano Dill, our president and founder. \u201cWe are grateful for their generous support and for all they do to help fulfill the mission and vision of building healthy and resilient communities throughout Hawai\u02bbi.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
