As one ʻohana across all our islands, we have always come together to support the individual canoe communities that make up ʻOhana Waʻa when there is need. In Lahaina, our voyaging community has been changed forever. Amidst the ashes, leaders from our canoe family are rising to provide, not only for their family and neighbors, but for the whole community.

 

Funds donated here will be used for short-term relief efforts, to be made directly available to the Leialiʻi Hawaiian Homestead Hub and other surrounding affected areas.  The coordination is being led by Lahaina-based voyaging alakaʻi who are organizing resources and logistics to make sure the Lahaina community is safe and provisioned in the immediate aftermath of the fires.
