Kahua of
kuleana

Ke Ali‘i Pauahi envisioned education as a means to empower ‘ōiwi leaders and, through their contributions, help ensure a thriving and self-determined future for our lāhui. More than a century later, that vision continues to guide the work of Ke Kula ‘o Kamehameha and its independent fundraising arm, the Pauahi Foundation. Ke Ali‘i Pauahi embraced her kuleana to her people as her royal charge predetermined by the generations of ali‘i that led before her. By fulfilling that kuleana, she established a kahua: a foundation for haumāna to stand on that they are called to grow and strengthen throughout their lives.

Growing ‘ōiwi leaders make a difference, one penny at a time

Living the values of mālama, kuleana, and aloha, Kamehameha Schools Preschools keiki, kumu, and ‘ohana came together this year to raise an inspiring $4,005.05 for the Pauahi Foundation. Through pennies donated, miles walked, and numerous acts of generosity, our youngest learners demonstrated the power of working together to uplift others.
