Vulnerable People Project Hawaii

On August 8th, 2023, a fire broke out in Lahaina, Hawaii, destroying an entire community and killing and displacing hundreds of people. Working with our partners on the ground, Epic Ministry, The Vulnerable People Project was one of the very first groups bringing aid to people on the ground by both sea and air.

As the initial relief efforts slowed down, a pressing need emerged. Miraculously, Sacred Hearts Catholic Church was untouched by the fire, but the school next door was completely burned down. Through the generosity of our donors, the Vulnerable People Project set up makeshift tents so classes could resume quickly, filling them with furniture and supplies. VPP was also able to subsidize the tuition for the students in the initial months after the fires.
