Hammond Climate Solutions Foundation’s Post

Today's #SolarSaturday post is highlighting the 3rd #solaranniversary of the Kaupo Community Association in Maui. The nonprofit received a $25,000 #SolarMoonshotProgram grant in 2021 thanks to our philanthropic funder #LeftCoastFund. The clean energy project was designed and installed by IBEW Local 569contractor Aloha Solar Power, whose founder grew up in Maui. "The Kaupō Community Association is honored to receive support from the Solar Moonshot Program which has enabled us to power our newly restored Kaupō Community Resource Center with 100% renewable energy! This special building — formerly a historic 1920s school that had fallen into disrepair — has truly become the heart of our small, rural Hawaiian community. As Kaupō, Hawai'i, and the world continue to navigate the physical, emotional, social, and economic toll of the coronavirus pandemic, indigenous communities across the globe are reclaiming ancestral wisdom and pathways to forge a more resilient future. This important project has taken our community one significant step forward along our journey to reclaim self-sufficiency and return to our traditional practices of aloha 'āina and mālama 'āina (love and care for the land),” said Makalapua Kanuha, Board President. One year ago this week Maui was struck by devastating wildfires, leaving behind a path of deadly destruction and displacing countless families and businesses. A year later, the community still needs our support. Please consider donating to verified relief funds to help those affected rebuild and recover. Your contribution makes a difference. 🌺🙏 #MauiStrong #WildfireRelief 🔗 https://lnkd.in/gCYrjZqY
