How You’ve Made a Difference

With every donation, Kupu has been able to generate a threefold return in economic and environmental benefits to our local communities.

Mahalo, for keeping us grounded and supported so that we can continue to give back to you, and to our ʻāina.

There is a crucial need for Kupu—it is vital for anyone who is interested in giving back to the community and to the islands. Kupu taught me how to become a leader, have compassion towards the environment, and respect the cultural heritage of the land. The skills I learned are directly applicable to my position today. It opened doors for me professionally and exposed me to opportunities for future employment.
