Eden Plan Hawaii
our mission
Our Eden Plan fosters comprehensive self-sustainability in Hawaiʻi for people, the land and animals.
We operate an environmentally conscious sanctuary to:
​
-
Empowering those in need: We house and equip youth aging out of the system, domestic violence survivors, and anyone else in need of a safe place to learn and take part in essential life skills, such as building their own homes, and farming expertise for a successful independent life.
​
-
Nourish Our Community: We grow and distribute fresh, sustainable food to low-income households and those in need.
​
-
Promote Holistic Health: We extend our meaningful, healthy lifestyle, farming instruction, and relational skill programs (like conflict resolution and yoga) to the broader community through events and volunteer efforts.
Objective
Our Eden Plan for HawaiÊ»i is building a thriving, self-sustaining future for our community. We focus on growing and distributing fresh food from the land to feed at-risk and houseless youth - and all those in need. Our core mission is to house and empower foster youth aging out of the system, teaching them and our broader community members essential skills for life and the land—including farming, building, relational, and health skills—through programs and events. Your donations expand our orchard, deepening our commitment to environmental consciousness and serving more people across HawaiÊ»i.
Community
The core of our mission is teaching our community residents how to live a meaningful, healthy, and simple life close to nature. Members rediscover purpose and connection to the land and each other through hands-on engagement. We build a thriving community by teaching essential skills like home building, self-sustainability, car repair and maintenance, Nonviolent Communication, conflict resolution, and by helping connect residents to vital social services such as counseling and peace circles. Additionally, we incorporate physical and emotional wellness through practices like yoga, meditation, running, and therapeutic bonding with animals like horses.
food
Our Eden Plan for Hawaiʻi uses sustainable farming to combat food insecurity and youth homelessness. We provide fresh food to at-risk and houseless youth, low-income households, and those in need. We give those in need housing and vital farming and life skills. Our farming programs and food distribution extend out to the broader Hawaii community. Donating directly supports the expansion of our orchard, enabling us to grow a larger, more impactful harvest.
