Ka Lei o ka Lāhui empowers survivors of domestic, sexual, and family violence through individual and group support services that utilize Hawaiian cultural healing practices in concert with standard survivor services.
Grounded in Hawaiian practices, their aim is to restore balance, promote healing, and strengthen families and communities across Hawaiʻi, while building community and working to dismantle systems that harm. Through Puʻuhonua ʻo Ka Ululehua, the hui centers ʻāina, ʻike kūpuna, lāʻau lapaʻau, hoʻopono, and ʻohana as pathways for empowerment and healing. Their work shifts paradigms by utilizing Kānaka ways of knowing within Western legal and social service systems, coupled with a long-term vision is to establish a puʻuhonua land base and a puʻuhonua framework that transforms community response to social inequity in Hawaiʻi.
