Since the re-launch of our website in late August, Waipā staff have been busy learning how to manage the new features and working closely with our great web team to make our site more useful to you, the Waipā ‘ohana. To help us accomplish that, we are so grateful in particular to Matt Goodale (w3dd.com) and Lindsey Fritz for their technical expertise, creativity and guidance.

Waipā’s ‘ohana is an amazing community of unique and supportive kupuna, volunteers, families, youth and others who are not only from Kaua‘i, but really from all over the world. All so different and yet all choosing to show aloha ‘aina, love for the land, to our abundant ahupua‘a. And…because the Waipa ‘ohana actively shares in the effort, we are also a community of laulima… of many hands working together.

While most of our work is on the land, Waipa staff do appreciate the potential of the internet to stay in touch. Since we have so many diverse projects all over the ahupua‘a, it excites us to share Waipā’s many faces of abundance.

And…because we certainly know that the full abundance of the ahupua‘a is not just in the ‘aina but also in our many hands, we invite you TOO to share in making our website useful by suggesting topics or providing feedback to us at

Mahalo nui loa!
