Hāmākua Institute

Based in the Hāmākua region on Hawai'i Island, we are a close-knit team of international development professionals committed to supporting economic and social progress. Regardless of region, we believe people and organizations intuitively want happier, healthier communities. But solving the problems to make that happen takes an understanding of complex systems - economic, social, and cultural - and a genuinely collaborative approach - with community members, business, government, and nonprofits.
