The mission of KAUPA is to restore the natural and cultural resource within our ahupua'a through education, outreach and action.

Description:

Our goal is to instill an environmental ethic of caring for the land - "Malama i ka aina" - in Kalihi through environmental education activities within the community.

WHAT WE DO
• Facilitate monthly beverage container recycling fundraising drives.
• Organize semi-annual auto battery & tire collections for proper disposal.
• Conduct Kalihi Stream cleanups & restoration activities
• Partner with school & community groups to provide environmental education programs & activities.
