Donating to NWOPCS

Over the past year and a half, Nā Wai Ola Public Charter School and the ʻohana (families) we serve, have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to our school’s current financial hardships and that of many of our ʻohana, our haumāna (students) have gone without the necessary school supplies needed.  Despite the hardships faced by our school and haumāna, we successfully survived our first COVID-19 school year with resilience. With the help and support from donors like you, our haumāna will be fortunate to have the school supplies needed for a successful school year. Furthermore, through the use of your monetary donations and/or donated school supplies, our teaching staff will be able to offer our haumāna an exceptional learning experience without ever having to worry about purchasing the necessary resources  for lessons, activities, and projects.

All monetary donations will be put towards buying school supplies listed by our grade-level teachers. However, if you would like to purchase school supplies instead of making a monetary donation, that is greatly appreciated as well. School supplies donations can be dropped off at our office during our normal business hours: Monday through Friday, between the hours of 9:00am to 3:30pm.

The entire staff of Nā Wai Ola Public Charter School greatly appreciates the help and support people like you have shown us during these difficult times. Our haumāna and teaching staff will be extremely elated to have new school supplies this coming school year thanks to your aloha (love). Mahalo (thank you) for allowing our school the opportunity to offer its haumāna a great learning experience this coming school year with your donation.
