I Ola Wailuanui

I Ola Wailuanui is a grassroots community organization formed and managed by Kauaʻi residents for the purpose of preserving, protecting, and restoring Wailuanuiahoʻāno and the environmental, historical, and cultural treasures therein. Their vision is a living ʻili ʻāina (smaller land division within a larger ahupuaʻa system) for and by thriving kamaʻāina who are culturally rooted and engaged in the stewardship of Wailuanuiahoʻāno. The Hanohano Wailuanuiahoʻāno project serves as a catalyst for meaningful social change in Hawaiʻi by addressing key issues and fostering community empowerment. Through collaborative efforts with local organizations and stakeholders, the hui aims to enact tangible solutions that uplift the lāhui by promoting cultural preservation, work towards sustainable tourism models, and enhance socio-economic equity. By investing in initiatives that prioritize inclusivity, education, and sustainable development, they aspire to create a more resilient and equitable Hawaiʻi for generations to come.
