About Us

Who We Are?

Project Hawai’i, Inc. is an award-winning volunteer staffed non-profit organization that has been supporting the needs of our island’s homeless children since 2003.

We were established to be completely staffed by volunteers to create community involvement to make a change. We have over 200 volunteers across the 3 islands to help provide year-round support to over 1,600 homeless children.

We continue to be solely supported by public donations, family foundations, and community partnerships to run all our programs. 100% of all YOUR donations are utilized to provide stability for each child as they continue through our programs on their road to success. Feel the love of saving a homeless child today and become part of Project Hawai’i ‘ohana!

What
Makes Us
Unique?

We are not afraid of challenges or change. We are designed to be fluid and create programs that change lives and break this cycle.

We are 100% volunteers and constantly implement new programs and changes to help us serve our goals.

We offer services to meet every individual needs to help them succeed.

Our programs and services focus on creating stability and continuity to help the child find their self-worth.

Our Success Story

Since 2023

We have successfully
helped over 2,000 homeless
children escape their cycle
of poverty.

From 2003-2006 we were able to create solutions to help our small encampment of 76 children who were born 3rd generation into homelessness escapes their cycle. Each family was able to obtain a structured housing situation, secure employment, or return to school. As of today these children are all still housed, they are having children of their own who will never know the crisis of homelessness.
