Our Story
Koa Ike is a 501 (c) 3 community development non-profit registered in the State of Hawaii. Our organization was founded in 2003 by the lineal descendent families of waianae out of concern for the growing need of our community and the continued degradation of our land and heritage. We engage these challenges with a kind heart, a clear mind and the spirit of aloha
​
We offer a variety of programs and opportunities that encourage communities to thrive. Our commitment is to inspire positive change through innovative curricula and programs that reconnect people with the land. We are staffed by dedicated community members and professionals that bring a breadth and depth of knowledge to our operations.
