On this day, we commemorate the 187th birthday of Queen Liliʻuokalani, a beloved Aliʻi whose steadfast devotion to her people continues to inspire.⁠ ⁠ Her enduring aloha lives on through her selfless legacy, establishing a trust to care for orphaned and destitute children of Hawaiian ancestry, later extended to serve all kamali'i in need. Today, Liliʻuokalani Trust carries forward her vision of hope, care, and kuleana for generations to come.⁠ ⁠ Me ka haʻahaʻa, we honor Her Majesty’s life, love, and lasting impact. #HauoliLāHānau #QueenLiliuokalani

With Puaʻama o Ke Kai, every moment in the ocean is a lesson — not just in swimming, but in self, culture, and kuleana.⁠ With @nakamakai and @leahiswimschool by our side, we move with confidence, guided by ʻike and grounded in aloha.

Nestled in the heart of Waimea, LT Ranch is a space where kamaliʻi and ʻāina grow together.⁠ Watch how healing happens through kuleana, connection, and care for the land. 🌱

This summer, our kamali‘i found strength in the kai and pride in their roots. From learning to swim with Lē‘ahi Swim School to connecting with culture through Nā Kama Kai — their voices say it best. Kamali‘i Chronicles is just the beginning… more moʻolelo to come. #PuaʻamaOKeKai

This summer at Liliʻuokalani Trust’s Kīpuka Hilo, kamaliʻi explored the deep connection between Hawaiʻi’s native birds and the resilience of kānaka. 🐦🌱Guided by ʻIo, ʻAlalā, Nēnē, and Palila, they learned that both manu and people need nourishment, protection, and connection to thrive. #NāManuHawaiʻiNui

Children thrive in places filled with love, culture, and connection. 🌿 Our new Early Childhood’s Lo‘i is a nurturing space for kamali’i (0–5) and their mākua to learn, grow, and heal together. Through our Early Childhood Initiative, Liliʻuokalani Trust supports families in building strong foundations rooted in aloha and ʻāina.✨
