HONOLULU (HI Now) - It was October of 2008 when the Hawaiian community at Anahola on Kauaʻi was shaken as they mourned the loss of three young Native Hawaiians who tragically took their own lives.

Coming together to remember these ʻōpio, concerned residents formed Kūkulu Kumuhana O Anahola (KKOA), a community nonprofit with a mission to provide safe places to deter suicide by building life skills that strengthen Hawaiian cultural identity, empowering individuals to successfully manage their future.
