Aloha,

Project Hawai'i, Inc., is a nonprofit organization run 100% by volunteers and solely supported by public donations. Our mission is to enhance the lives of homeless children and help them escape their cycle of poverty.

The children we provide service to live in poverty stricken situations along the Wai'anae Coast in tents, abandon cars, etc. These children can go days with a healthy meal during the weekends and holidays. As well these children do not have proper bathing options, or other personal care needs. So, our goal is to keep them clean and healthy and help keep them in school.

Our agency is hosting a fund-raising event to be able to provide our homeless keiki with hygiene products, clothing and food. We need your time for just a few hours this weekend. Your 3 hours either day will help to provide these children with a month of hygiene, a week of food boxes, and other necessities.

You can choose one or both days.

Description

Project Hawai'i, Inc., is a nonprofit organization run 100% by volunteers to enhance the lives of children living in poverty situations on the islands of Hawai'i. Our public supported charity works year round to provide necessities to children living in substandard housing situations, such as tents on the waters edge, abandon vehicles, and make-shift structures hidden in the bushes and hills.

Our agency provides children with holiday parties, meals and services for all the major holidays including Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Other monthly services include providing emergency support, hygiene, food, clothing and outreach to the children living in homeless situations on 3 of the islands of Hawai'i, the Big Island (Hawai'i), Mau'i and O'ahu.

Project Hawai'i also provides educational and nutritional programs that include after school reading and tutoring programs and our summer camp activities. Children will also receive full back to school support from new backpacks filled with supplies, new outfits, and shoes. We also provide other educational needs throughout the year.

Project Hawai'i Summer Camp has ran for 15 years and won several dozen awards in nutrition and educational support. This program is our largest endevor and evolves year after to year to include even more learning opportunities to our keiki.
