When the world seemed dark, you brought the light. From every corner of the globe, you extended your hand, supporting families who have found stability after a year of uncertainty. You gave children a sense of community and hope for shared futures. We call this aloha.
Across 78 countries and from over 5,000 businesses, big and small, more than 240,000 of you came together, showing aloha in its purest form. Because of your generosity, Ka Laʻi Ola is now a beacon of hope, providing a place to call home for many families in need. From the bottom of our hearts, mahalo to each and every donor of Hawaii Community Foundation's Maui Strong Fund.

As I'm about to celebrate my 5-year work anniversary at Amala, I couldn't be more thrilled to be sharing Amala's Strategic Plan for 2024-2027 "Expanding Hope".
This year, the number of displaced people globally rose to 120 million from 60 million back in 2017, when Amala was founded.
🌍 Our mission is bold but urgent—to enable millions of refugee and conflict-affected youth to access transformative education by 2040.🌍
As Amala's Co-Founders Polly and Mia explain, "Over the last three years, Amala has evolved as a pioneer in post-primary education for displaced youth. Through powerful partnerships, predominantly with refugee-led organisations, we have multiplied our impact—growing from serving 200 students annually to 1,500.
The Global Secondary Diploma became the first accredited upper secondary education programme specifically for refugee youth. The accreditation from two leading agencies, CIS and NEASC, has opened up new doors for our graduates, giving them hope for their futures." *
Over the next three years, we’ll grow our impact by increasing the effectiveness of our programmes and tripling our student reach, influence systemic change in refugee education, and build sustainable funding to scale up.
✨If you'd like to be part of making this happen, you can DOUBLE your impact with our new match-funding opportunity for all new regular donations made to Amala ✨

When was the last time you put a smile on a child’s face? Can you visualize that smile now? Think about how that made you feel.
Personally, I find it one of the most rewarding things I do. When you add the smile to the knowledge that you are having a positive impact on the lives of children for generations to come, it only gets better.
I’m proud to support Helping Hugs For Children, a wonderful organization founded by my friend Alan Lowe. Alan’s unwavering dedication to creating possibilities for children, where none seem to exist, truly inspires me.
What's more interesting is that his passion is fueled by real-life stories.
Helping Hugs For Children is committed to breaking the cycle of poverty through education. They are currently raising funds to provide essential educational resources for children in Liberia. Their immediate needs include:
Solar Panel for an ABC Class: $100
Educational Materials: $450 for books and pencils
Every contribution, no matter the amount, helps provide children with the tools they need to build a brighter future. Your donation will not only bring immediate assistance but also invest in the long-term development of these young minds.
Let’s come together to put smiles on hundreds of children's faces, and even thousands of them, because it matters. Join me in supporting this incredible cause—because every child deserves a chance for a better tomorrow.

Super excited to see Amala's new strategic plan out in the world today 🚀
Hope is a powerful thing 💫
This year, the number of displaced people globally rose to 120 million.
A huge proportion of this number are young people. For most, education is a top priority. Education has a potential to provide hope - to continue building a future, to make dreams a reality, to tackle the worlds' challenges. Yet for most, a quality education remains a distant dream.
Amala's new strategic plan "Expanding Hope" commits to a bold but urgent goal of enabling millions of refugee and conflict-affected youth to access transformative education by 2040.
Amala's educational model is focused on enabling refugee youth to become changemakers and leaders in their own lives, their communities and the world.
It's all about expanding hope 💫
If you'd like to be part of making this happen - from today, you can DOUBLE your impact with our new match-funding opportunity for all new regular donations made to Amala ✨

Amala - Director of Education Programmes - Experienced educational leader; committed to projects that have a positive and lasting impact on the learner and their community.
One of the things I love the most about working with Amala's new Strategic Plan for 2024-2027 is the intentionality with which we turn strategic thinking into actionable projects. This document will not collect dust on a shelf but will guide and inform every aspect of Amala's ambitions.

Did you know? In New York City, the top 1% of households hold 26% of total wealth, while the bottom 50% hold less than 3%. This extreme concentration of wealth among a small percentage of households makes it difficult for many families to accumulate and pass down assets. The MCU Foundation focuses on creating generational wealth, to help all families to thrive.

Empower Baino Because Baino Empowers:
Empowerment is more than a word; it's a transformative force that drives change within communities and individuals. In our services, empowerment means building the foundation for sustainable development. It's about giving people the tools, knowledge and opportunities they need to lift themselves out of poverty, break the cycle of illiteracy and build a better future.
Imagine a community where children, who once walked miles barefoot to access a dilapidated school, now have access to quality education, resources, and a supportive environment that nurtures their dreams.
This change doesn’t happen overnight—it’s the result of giving those children and their families with the skills, resources, and confidence to seize opportunities.
At its core, empowerment is about creating lasting impact by ensuring that people have the tools to make informed decisions, advocate for themselves, and contribute meaningfully to society. It's about building resilience and self-reliance so that the change we make today will continue to grow and multiply for generations to come.
