Found the gate and chain to this sacred place vandalized and damaged. We were able to repair it. We’ll reinforce it another day.
However we were still able to give our ho’okupu and honor our kupuna at Ahu o Kaha’iali’i
No matter how hard the work is, it must be done.
That’s our kuleana and I love it!!

You gotta see this!💧 Ola I Ka Wai – Water Is Life 💧
After the devastating fires in Lahaina, many families were left without access to clean drinking water.
Through the Ola I Ka Wai project, the Kīhā Manā Foundation delivered a life-giving solution: an atmospheric water generator that pulls fresh, clean water from the air.

In this video, a displaced ʻohana shares their heartfelt testimony of how this gift of water brought not just relief—but hope.
🎥 🎥 Watch the video here: https://www.kihamanafoundation.org/ola-i-ka-wai/video-testimony
This is just the beginning. With support, we hope to expand the system with solar power and more portable stations to reach even more families in need.

Mahalo Nui to The Caindec Ohana and other partners helping us mālama our people through wai—our most sacred resource.


Let's Gooooo!!!

“A Voice from Lahaina – Ola I Ka Wai” I'm so honored to share this powerful testimony of a displaced ʻohana in Lahaina who now has access to fresh drinking water through the Ola I Ka Wai project. Their story reminds us that water is more than a resource — it is life, healing, and resilience...

Ola I Ka Wai Update: Clean Water Delivered to Lahaina

We’re excited to share that Ola I Ka Wai has officially delivered on its promise! We selected and donated a water purification machine to a family in Lahaina—and it’s already been installed and is providing safe, clean water daily.

This is a big step in our mission to uplift and support communities with vital resources. Mahalo to everyone who helped make this possible. Stay tuned as we continue to bring life through water—ola i ka wai.
