Hawai‘i Care Choices in Hilo was awarded $30,000 for its Digital Health Equity program, which implements eHealth and telehealth programs that enhance the quality and serviceability of palliative and hospice care to patients in East Hawai‘i.
These programs include helping Hawaiʻi’s youth excel with new technology, tutoring our keiki and kūpuna for digital literacy, and improving technical skills in women transitioning back into the workforce.
With a $200,000 OHA grant award, the Purple Maiʻa Foundation will focus on introducing students and teachers in Hawaiʻi to artificial intelligence (AI) through workshops, training sessions, and mentorship programs. By equipping Native Hawaiian students with AI knowledge and skills, they aim to increase their college, career, and community readiness, and ensure they are prepared to participate in the rapidly evolving field of AI.
The Office of Hawaiian Affairs trustees approved a $1.5 million grant to Hawaiian Community Assets to enhance the financial capacity of Native Hawaiians in accessing housing.
