What they do
HOA AINA O MAKAHA (LAND of MAKAHA SHARED IN FRIENDSHIP) is MORE THAN A DESTINATION FARM or NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION.

ONCE A BARREN PIECE of LAND FROM THE PAST and NOW A THRIVING EDUCATIONAL RESOURCE CENTER, HOA AINA O MAKAHA HAS BEEN A VILLAGE COMMITMENT SINCE THE BEGINNING. OUR MISSION FOCUSES ON COMMUNITY SELF-RELIANCE, SUPPORTING FAMILY, and PEACE-MAKING ON THE WAIANAE COAST.
