Malama Pu`uloa is the primary program of Hui o Ho`ohonua
Hui o Ho`ohonua (HOH) is a 501 (c)3 non-profit created by members of the `Ewa community. We are best described as a community stewardship networking organization.
Since 2016, we have been engaging community members and school groups to participate in service learning work days at Pouhala Marsh and at Kapapapuhi Point Park. Through our Mālama Pu`uloa program, we have engaged almost 10,000 volunteers and with our partners, brought in $2.5 million dollars of funding for our work. We are empowering and connecting groups of all ages in our community to create positive change - seeking to cultivate a strong sense of stewardship, pride and kuleana.
