Ua Mau Ke Ea O Ka ʻĀina I Ka Pono. The life of the land is perpetuated in righteous.
OUR FOUNDER'S JOURNEY
Kingdom Pathways began with a return home.
When Joseph K. Simpliciano Jr. came back to Waiʻanae after military service overseas, he saw a coastline and community struggling under environmental neglect and disconnection. Guided by aloha ʻāina and kuleana, he chose to act.
Together with co-founder Carmen Guzman-Simpliciano, Kingdom Pathways grew from cleanup efforts and talk-story sessions into a community-led movement. Today, we bring together ʻike kupuna, local data, and grassroots leadership to protect water, restore ʻāina, and ensure that Native Hawaiian voices shape the decisions that impact our health and future.
This is not just environmental work. It is self-determination in action.
Aloha Kākou
Your kōkua helps restore ʻāina, protect wai, and uplift ea for our keiki and future generations. It supports the full scope of Kingdom Pathways work from native restoration and shade tree planting, to water quality monitoring and environmental health, to youth leadership, cultural education, and community advocacy.
Every dollar goes directly into community-driven solutions rooted in ʻike kupuna and guided by community voice.
