OUR STORY

E hele me ka pu’olo. Make every person, place, or condition better than before, always.

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.
