In the summer of 1997, Makena Children\u2019s Foundation, Inc., was established as a 501(c)(3) organization to enable young children to attend excellent boarding schools. The support we provide takes care of tuition, school supplies, room, board, transportation and personal items.<\/p>\n

We want to give one child from as many families as possible an opportunity to attend a boarding school because the lack of resources provided to village schools means most students will not get the education needed to qualify for secondary schools.<\/p>\n

We will continue to support our students for as long as they are able to take advantage of the opportunity- including through higher education at universities. As our students mature, we will ask for their commitment to use their education to benefit their families and villages.<\/p>\n

Through the education of one child, then, we impact a family. Through a number of families, we impact a village. And, perhaps, the village will impact other villages. This is the essence of changing the world one child at a time.<\/p>\n

Our Vision\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

To offer love, encouragement and opportunity through charitable support to children in the hope that their lives will, in turn, further enrich the people of their communities.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
