About
Preparing Native Hawaiian children and families for academic success!
Nā Pono No Nā ‘Ohana serves Waimānalo families using the four components of Family Literacy from the National Center for Families Learning: PACT (Parents And Children Together), Child Education, Parent Education, and Adult Education.
Nā Pono started out as an Even Start grant in 2001 through the Department of Education before becoming a program of Partners in Development Foundation in 2003. Since then, countless Native Hawaiian families have been served by the program. Nā Pono No Nā ‘Ohana also partners with local businesses and individuals to distribute food monthly through community outreach.
