Manini Beach
The Bill Healy Foundation is committed to responsible and thoughtful grant giving in the State of Oregon and the State of Hawaii. We focus on Environmental Conservation and The Well Being of Children.
Since 2000 the foundation has supported a wide variety of projects. Our largest stewardship project to date is Manini Beach in Hawaii. The following is the Manini Beach story along with a list of all grant recipients to date through 2009.
Stewardship Project: Environment and Children
Hawaii - Kapahukapu - Manini Beach
One of the most enduring and long term efforts of the foundation is the acquisition of a 29 year lease on 3/4 acre of beach property from the Kamehameha Schools Foundation in 2001. Currently known as Manini Beach, Kappuhukapu, was used as an ancient site of healing for over a century. It is located on the south shore of Kealakakua Bay in South Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaii. The bay has been designated as a National Marine Reserve and is one of the first sites Europeans made contact with native Hawaiians.
Our challenge was to restore the site to a condition that was safe and inviting. The property was littered with old tires, car parts, trash and debris and was overgrown with a variety of invasive weeds. The foundation now provides full time local Hawaiian resident caretakers, landscape maintenance and bathroom facilities. We have installed permanent picnic benches, a gate to restrict motor motor vehicles on the beach and signage to insure safety. The annual Clean Up Day and Picnic is well attened and supported by the local residents.
The foundation is committed to provide an environment of respect and appreciation for the history, beauty, environmental value and the Ohaha Hawaiian tranditions of the site. It is a place that brings culture, tourists, children, local families and community together. We continue to work with Kamehameha Schools and Hawaiian Immersion School to develop future programs to include educational and science based field trips to Manini Beach.
