Welcome to Rebuild Maui.Org

Thank you for visiting our website and showing interest in Maui's ongoing recovery from the wildfires. While news coverage may have diminished, the island continues to face significant challenges. Currently, over 6,700 survivors are living in temporary hotel shelters, and a severe housing shortage is hindering our recovery efforts. Our humanitarian mission is more vital than ever. We provide essential services, from housing assistance to personalized support, to address the complex needs of each affected family. Our commitment extends beyond rebuilding homes; we strive to restore hope and reinforce community spirit during these trying times.

Rebuild Maui Org is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit and serves as a beacon of hope and resurgence for families devastated by the Maui fires. We believe that the journey of healing and rebuilding begins with having a safe and secure place to call home.

The loss experienced by thousands is profound, with many families currently residing in temporary accommodations. There is an urgent need for long-term housing solutions that offer more than shelter—they must foster community, stability, and hope for the future. Our mission, born from the personal loss of our own family home and business to the fires, is clear: Provide displaced families with attractive, no-cost, long-term housing. We are dedicated to transforming the landscape of despair into one of hope and unity.

In our immediate response, we have supplied donation hubs across Lahaina and areas within the burn zone with emergency shelters. These geodesic domes, designed by the innovative Sono Star Company, provide a safe haven against environmental challenges and are versatile enough to serve as makeshift classrooms, ensuring that education continues where schools remain inaccessible.

In addition to our recovery efforts, we are proud to host the Maui Flow Fest, a unique event designed to address adolescent mental health. This festival is the largest of its kind in Hawaii, combining high-energy activities, cultural performances, and the presence of mental health professionals in a supportive environment for high school-aged youth. The event offers an engaging way to discuss mental health openly and provides teens with the resources they need in an innovative format. This initiative reflects our commitment not just to physical rebuilding, but to fostering mental and emotional wellness among Maui’s youth.

While we have made significant progress, there is still a long road ahead. With the love, unity, and spirit of 'Ohana, we aspire to restore not just physical structures but also the dreams and memories that make them meaningful. As we rebuild, brick by brick, dream by dream, we invite you to join hands with us, share in our vision, and be part of a movement that reimagines and rekindles the spirit of Maui.

Mahalo for your support, understanding, and trust. Together, we can and will rebuild Maui stronger than ever. Your involvement and awareness are invaluable as we continue this journey together.

Mahalo for joining us in making a meaningful difference in the lives of those affected.

MAUI FLOW FEST - TEEN MENTAL HEALTH EVENT

Here's a recent project where our team donated a dome to a neighborhood that refused to leave their homes in the burn area and have decided to feed and supply their neighbors. They asked for a dome to protect the food they serve to their neighbors from the ash across the street. Unfortunately, people here are getting sick from the ash in the air. Our team had to wear these respirators in order to work safely, and we donated them to the families once all of the work was done, sanitized . Shockingly, many of the families still living in the burn area do not have respirators.

About Rebuild Maui.Org

Founded after the Maui fires on August 8, 2023 to create long-term housing solutions for families that lost their homes. Families will be able to live here for free while Lahaina rebuilds itself. With your help we can give families that have lost loved ones, homes, and all of their personal belongings, a place to call home and to begin the healing process. Mahalo!
