Over 53,000 pounds of school supplies are on their way to Hawaii’s most remote regions, thanks to the Kids In Need Foundation’s RISE Program!

With the support of our generous partner we’re providing over half a million dollars in supplies to 23,000 students and 1,500 teachers across 40 schools. From the Ka‘ū district to the farthest corners of the Big Island, we’re ensuring every child has what they need to succeed!

However, we need your help!

We need to raise $30,000 to support the shipping costs of delivering these supplies. Join us in making a difference by donating today at the link below.

Even a small donation can create a BIG impact! 🌟

Our Story

For the 15 million kids who come from families struggling with extreme poverty, getting school supplies can make all the difference in the world to their future success. How can a kid be expected to succeed in the classroom without the basic tools to learn?

Recent studies* show that when kids have new school supplies of their own:


  • Grades, classroom behavior, and engagement improve

  • Self-esteem increases
  • Videos (show all)
