'EUA AGRO-HEALTH INTIATIVE
Mission Statement
The ʻEua Agro-Health Initiative exists to empower youth and families through hands-on education in traditional and organic farming and sustainable livestock practices. Our mission is to build long-term food stability, community resilience, and environmental stewardship by teaching the next generation how to cultivate the land with respect, protect natural resources, and contribute positively to climate change.
We are committed to feeding the poor and those in need, ensuring that fresh, healthy, locally grown food is accessible to every household.
All profits generated from crops, livestock, and community programs directly support the establishment of the Talatukumo‘ui Medical Clinic— planned for Fahefa and ʻEua—bringing accessible, compassionate healthcare to our communities.
