Share Your Mana
Hawaiian: Mana
To place in authority, empower, authorize.
MISSION
VISION
Share Your Mana was created after years of participating and witnessing fractured systems which are unable to meet the needs of those living unhoused / unsheltered in real time. As the needs of poverty have increased, the systems haven’t evolved fast enough to meet needs. We need to approach success through the eyes of the individuals experiencing these situations and conditions.
Share Your Mana is addressing system failures through the lived experience through the residents we serve. Their struggles and inability to climb out of homelessness are exacerbated due to systems that lack sufficient mental health and addiction crisis services. These crisis maintain the status quo.
Share Your Mana meets peoples needs at the moment they experience it. It isn’t shelved; it isn’t put off till next week or next month it is met in the in the moment that it is existing.
NEW! Meet our Advisory Committee officially formed February 2022
Formed with all currently or previously unhoused/unsheltered Maui County residents, the Advisory Committee are experts in surviving in the most inhumane conditions. Their first-hand, lived experiences of trying to navigate agency protocols under dire conditions are the needed voices to change this broken system.
