Kekaha Hawaiian Homestead Association (it's President is Kawai Warren) has been working hard for many years to bring you this opportunity.  After much hard work by KHHA Board, west Kauai homesteaders and friends, Kekaha Hawaiiian Homestead Association has received support from our Hawaii state land trustee to develop this project for you and your families.  We all worked hard to do this project with love in our hearts, and with pono, honest, respectful behavior.  Everyone worked as volunteers, with no self interest or self gain, to bring you this opportunity to malama aina.

The Puu Opae project will give you a chance to be on Puu Opae home lands and malama aina through growing healthy foods for our families.  It will also be an education and training project to ensure we have the skills to malama Puu Opae and help our future generations.
