General support for Mauna Kea efforts

The continuous purpose is the rehabilitation (bring us back to what we once were, self-sufficient & self-determined) of our native Hawaiian people by creating opportunities that has been suppressed over the past 100 years. Controlling our life's outcomes by self-governance, increasing our family household incomes, retaining control of our lands set aside in trust for our people and leveraging our farming, culture & language projects to catapult us toward self-sufficiency and self-determination.

The renewed support for the "Farming for the Working Class" will further increase agriculture production in the homestead by training an additional 24 participants and creating another 12 new farms within the Waimea Hawaiian Homestead. Creating an additional 12 farms to build on the progress made with the 12 already trained, allowing the community to leverage their combined production to reach the economies of scale needed to access some of the larger local markets and begin to have a larger impact on food security in Hawaii.
