Our mission is to empower students, teachers, and the community to work together to restore the Ala Wai ecosystem.

Water quality and sludge depth are routinely measured to determine environmental impact.

You can make Genki Balls, volunteer, or donate to help with Genki Ball material and water testing costs.
