Our Mission

Many people need a helping hand to move forward from trauma and major life transitions. At Kīpuka Hoʻola, we are that helping hand.

Kīpuka Hoʻōla is a local nonprofit dedicated to helping Hawaiʻi Island women gain strength, independence, and normalcy after experiencing major life traumas and/or transitions. Through group therapy, tailored life skills classes, health and wellness education and activities, and increased access to community resources and job opportunities, participants learn to be confident, independent, contributing members of the community.
