Our focus on improving Native-Hawaiian economic self-sufficiency centers on increasing family income, homeownership, and housing stability for renters. These efforts help ‘ohana become more financially viable, which supports improved health, educational outcomes, and the overall well-being of those in the ‘ohana.

Our focus on improving education in the Hawaiian community takes aim at two primary goals: increasing the number of Native Hawaiian students who meet or exceed reading and math standards in middle school and high school, and boosting post-secondary graduation rates. Such educational achievement enables later success in the workplace and raises the overall capacity of Hawaiian communities.

Our focus on governance involves facilitating a process for Native Hawaiians to form a governing entity. A recognized governing entity would solidify Native Hawaiians as a political rather than racial group, safeguarding trusts, programs, and funding sources serving Native Hawaiians. A governing entity could advocate and negotiate greater self-sufficiency and autonomy for Native Hawaiians.

Our focus on Native Hawaiian health aims at reducing obesity. Lowering obesity curbs conditions such as diabetes and heart disease that are prevalent among Hawaiians, which decrease life expectancy and quality of life. Approaches taken to combat obesity and boost overall well-being among Native Hawaiians include encouraging healthy eating, regular physical activity, and engagement in cultural activities.
