Hāloalaunuiakea Early Learning Center is a place where keiki love to go to school. It‘s also a safe place where staff feel good about helping their students to learn and prepare for a bright future. The center is run by Native Hawaiian U‘ilani Corr-Yorkman. U‘ilani wasn‘t always a business owner. She actually taught at DOE for 8 years. A Mālama Loan from OHA helped make her dream of owning her own preschool a reality. The low-interest loan allowed U‘ilani to buy fencing for the property, playground equipment, furniture, books…everything needed to open the doors of her business. U‘ilani and her staff serve the community in ‘Ele‘ele, Kaua‘i, and have become so popular that they have a waiting list. OHA is proud to support Native Hawaiian entrepreneurs in the pursuit of their business dreams. OHA‘s staff provide Native Hawaiian borrowers with personalized support and provide technical assistance to encourage the growth of Native Hawaiian businesses. Experience the OHA Loans difference.

IHUE, HI – On Aug. 21, the Hawai‘i Commission on Water Resource Management (“Commission”) considered a historic staff proposal to restore water to Wai‘ale‘ale and Waikoko Streams on the island of Kaua‘i after nearly 150 years of complete diversion. The two streams flow directly from Mount Wai‘ale‘ale, a place Lof paramount sacredness in Hawaiian culture. Although the staff pro- posal suggested restoring less than one-third of median stream flows, the Commission was entertaining recommendations to increase the proposed restoration when Kaua‘i Island Utility Cooperative (“KIUC”), which To restore currently diverts the streams to run two small plantation-era hydro plants, pono and requested a contested case hearing.
