What Programs Does Mālama Kula Currently Support?
The amount of need in our Kula community became glaringly apparent when we nearly watched our town go up in flames.
From providing immediate disaster relief to victims affected by the fire, to programs for green waste, cleanup of burned properties, fire fuel reduction, hazard mitigation, AI enabled fire detection cameras, and assistance and support with infrastructure and rebuilds, our programs aim to fill in the cracks where our community is in need of support.
