One of Waipa Foundation’s core goals is to empower and enrich the communities along Kauai’s Halele'a (north shore) district - with a special focus on the Hawaiian, low-income and at-risk communities - through the creation of community assets, development and implementation of programs focusing on culture, enrichment, education, and leadership and that foster a strong connection with, and love of, the land and resources.
Waipa hosts a farmers market which makes fresh, local produce and food available to community and visitors. We also grow, make and distribute produce (grown at Waipa) and poi to community and ohana, on a weekly basis.
In addition to welcoming groups from all over Hawaii, and beyond, Waipa serves it’s target communities in Kauai's Halele'a by providing various programs for keiki and ohana within it’s target communities year round.
And finally, Waipa is developing long term facilities and sites, such as it’s Community Kitchen and Hale Imu, which will serve as assets to the local communities for years to come.
