The Hua Momona Foundation is distributing free, portable rain catchment systems and training to 120 West Maui households as part of its ongoing Lahaina wildfire recovery efforts. The renter-friendly kits are funded by a Hawaiʻi Community Foundation grant and are designed to support water resilience and backyard food production.
- 120 West Maui households will receive free rain barrel kits and irrigation components after completing a four-week workshop.
- Systems are portable and modular, making them suitable for renters or residents who may need to relocate during recovery.
- The program aligns with Maui County and MEFT recovery recommendations for water resilience.
- The initiative is funded by the Hawaiʻi Community Foundation and launched under HMF’s Lahaina Innovation & Arts Center.
- HMF also recently surpassed 30 tons of produce distributed and 100,000 hot meals served to Maui residents since the August 2023 wildfire.
