You will know their name when they begin, and hear what they built when they finish.
Eight weeks learning who they are, what their gifts are, and how to make a living from them — rooted in the ʻāina, and carried by a community that knows them.
Mālamalama serves college-aged youth, single mothers and women on Maui. Almost none of them can pay for this. That is the whole reason a student is sponsored rather than charged, and why a student nobody sponsors is simply a student who does not get to come.
Nothing is charged here. You speak with Sylvia first.
Mālamalama Farm and Center is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization, EIN 26-1769632. Applications for the group beginning are open now — a student applies here.
How far you take them
Three sizes of the same gift. Each one covers a real student, a real person who cannot pay for it themselves.
