2018 Annual Report Serving Hawai‘i’s Families, Living Hawaiian Values
Aloha e Na Hoa! As my tenure with Partners in Development Foundation comes to a close, I reflect on what being its President has meant both for the communities we serve and for our own families. It has been such a privilege to be a colleague to the almost three hundred men and women who carry out the work of PIDF and to the many people who have supported our work! Over the years, I’ve had the blessing of watching amazing people doing amazing work for the children and families we serve in our Hawai‘i nei. From the first two teams who took preschool to families who couldn’t access or afford it, to those who reached out to the many foster families in our midst, over the years our staff have planted the seeds of transformational change in the lives of over 100,000 people through a wide variety of programs.
Our vision and goal of healthy and resilient communities continues to challenge and motivate us each and every day. All of the above would not have been possible without the active and continuing support of our partners and friends. Financial support, encouragement, and guidance by the many, many people who have come alongside the work of the Foundation have allowed us to expand and deepen the scope, depth, and impact of PIDF programs. The insights and perspectives of the friends of PIDF allow us to maintain our focus and to strengthen our commitment to substantive and positive change for the children and families we serve. Fiscal responsibility, measurable and defined outcomes, and an unwavering commitment to our cultural values and traditions have been at the heart of the work of the Foundation. PIDF does not seek to stabilize the status quo, but rather we pursue sustainable transformational change for those we serve. It is my hope that these elements remain the anchor points of our corporate culture.

This past year has opened new doors for the work of the Foundation. Sustainable natural farming is now an integral part of the work we do. The complete bilingual Hawaiian and English Bible - a critical resource for Hawaiian language and culture - was finally published, and work has begun to reinstate it as an important part of the life of our schools, churches, and families. Our early education efforts have gained expanded national and international interest and application. PIDF has committed to expanded partnerships with other organizations to develop cooperative resources and set goals for the most urgent social issues of our communities. All of this presents a great deal of challenges, but even more positive opportunities to build the “healthy and resilient� communities we strive for! Thank you for your support and for your interest in the work of the Foundation. We extend to you our appreciation, and our best wishes for you and yours. Please enjoy both the printed and electronic windows to our work in 2018. Me ke aloha piha,
Jan E. Hanohano Dill President, 1997-2019

Aloha K ākou! We’ve had a remarkable year! I am sincerely humbled by the great generosity and outpouring of aloha that has been bestowed upon our foundation. This report serves as a confirmation of your steadfast belief in Partners in Development Foundation’s vision of bringing health and resiliency to our communities.

Mahalo e Jan Dill! Aloha mai kākou,
For twenty years, President and CEO Jan E. Hanohano Dill has led Partners in
Development Foundation with vision and foresight, creating and responding to opportunities to improve the lives of countless citizens of Hawai‘i, young and old, and to make a difference in our community. Few have had such a powerful and lasting impact on the social fabric of our island state. It is especially noteworthy because he has done so from off stage and out of the spotlight. The PIDF ‘ohana and the community we serve are indebted to Jan, and extend heartfelt mahalo as he retires from the organization he created, served and loved as its only chief executive for the past twenty years. We do so with endless affection and enduring aloha. Jan’s leadership has been key to the emergence of PIDF’s programs as transformational models for other organizations throughout Hawai‘i and the nation. Central to this acclaim is Jan’s unique skill in bringing the right people together at the right time to do the right thing in the right way! Using this special skill, Jan built PIDF into what it is today, a social services organization that is admired, respected and appreciated for the work we do, the people we serve and the impact we make. Moreover, Jan’s strategic foresight in identifying community needs, and professional expertise in securing resources to address these needs, have been cornerstones of PIDF’s evolution. Indeed, equipped with a compelling vision and outstanding employees, PIDF is well positioned to continue serving the people of Hawai‘i with programs that are rooted in the culture of the first people of these islands. On a personal note, my friendship with Jan spans six decades, starting as classmates in intermediate school. Intelligent and inquisitive, Jan established himself as a scholar and academic achiever. However, what set Jan apart from the mainstream was his character – ethical, steadfast, trustworthy and principled. This has never changed. Then and now, integrity and moral courage serve as bookends to Jan’s life and his life’s work. This is why I and others trust his judgment so deeply and value his wisdom so greatly. Servant leadership is Jan’s calling. Connecting heart to head, Jan brings compassion and diligence, understanding and justice, integrity and courage to all that he does and to all who he touches. A good and industrious man, Jan stands as a beloved leader and godly servant.
Mahalo nui loa, my friend, and warm and heartfelt Aloha. Ke Akua pu,
Dr. Michael J. Chun Board Member

Ka Baibala Hemolele the Hawaiian Holy Bible Project
Kevin Cockett, Kamehameha Schools Vice President of Communications and Chief Communications Officer, Kahu David Kaupu, Kahu Kimo Merseberg, and Bennett Hymer, Mutual Publishing
Baibala Hemolele initially started as an effort to electronically preserve the 1839,
1868, and 1994 printings of the Hawaiian Bible and make it freely available to the public. It has since grown into a complete editing of the Hawaiian Bible to embrace the modern orthography.
“The Baibala is a major linguistic, cultural and spiritual resource for the Hawaiian community and Hawaiian language students throughout the world.” - Helen Kaupu Kaowili, Baibala Hemolele’s Project Director
Our latest Baibala Hemolele release arrived just weeks after global language-learning platform Duolingo released the Hawaiian language on its mobile app. People are taking note that indigenous languages, such as Hawaiian, are important and in need of efforts to preserve, revive, and share with future generations. Over the next few years we aim to improve our electronic hosting of the Baibala, make it more accessible to communities, and provide a Baibala curriculum that can be integrated in schools and churches. Mahalo palena ‘ole to the Atherton Family Foundation and Kamehameha Schools for their support and sponsorship. Without their partnership, this project would not be possible. To purchase the full-bilingual Baibala Hemolele, visit PIDF.org or call 808-595-2752. 6
Nā Pono No Nā ‘Ohana Since 2003, Nā Pono No Nā ʻOhana has served over 3,000 Native
Hawaiian families. The comprehensive family education program is based at Blanche Pope Elementary School in Waimānalo. It is designed to prepare Native Hawaiian children for academic success in school, build parenting skills, provide guidance and assistance for adults to advance their own education, and help adults with work preparedness. Nā Pono serves the entire family, using the four components of Family Literacy from the National Center for Families Learning: PACT (Parents And Children Together), Child Education, Parent Education, and Adult Education. Nā Pono also partners with local businesses and individuals to distribute food through community outreach to homeless participants. People usually participate in the program initially for their children’s sake, but soon discover the benefits for themselves. Moses Kailihiwa started bringing his daughters to Nā Pono’s child education program before starting the Adult Education classes. Moses is one of over 200 individuals to obtain their Competency-Based Community School Diploma - or “C-BASE” - through Nā Pono in the last five years. These people are our heroes as they persevere and do what they need to do, juggling work, home life, and children in order to achieve their goal of receiving that high school diploma. We are privileged to be able to help them change their lives and the lives of their families for the better.

We Are Oceania (WAO)
We Are Oceania’s mission is to empower our Micronesian community to navigate success while honoring the integrity of our diverse heritage. - Jocelyn Howard, Program Director
The Micronesia region faces many challenges, such as U.S. militarization
and weapons testing, loss of land from rising ocean levels, and lack of a sustainable local food supply. An estimated 15,000 to 17,000 people have left their homes in search of a better life for themselves and their families here in Hawai‘i. Through an initial pilot grant awarded by the Department of the Interior’s Office of Insular Affairs, Partners in Development Foundation serves as the mentor organization for We Are Oceania. We Are Oceania (WAO) was created by a core group of Micronesian leaders and stakeholders in Hawai‘i whose aim is to advocate for the overall health and wellbeing of Micronesian people and communities. We Are Oceania is a unique organization. Their one-stop shop at St. Elizabeth’s Episcopal Church in Kalihi is dedicated to the needs of the Micronesian community and offers a myriad of services. WAO’s services include translating documents, help finding employment, housing assistance, health insurance and welfare enrollment, and obtaining legal assistance where necessary. The name “We Are Oceania” is rooted in the history of the indigenous people who navigated the vast North Pacific — today known as Micronesia. It honors the role of the ocean in binding these islands together rather than separating them, and providing abundant resources instead of depriving us of them.

The Joseph family is one of many to be helped by WAO. They initially came to Hawai‘i a few years ago to seek medical care for their patriarch, Binasius. They struggled to overcome linguistic and cultural barriers before coming to We Are Oceania in 2015. Once there, staff like Case Manager Kathy Martin helped the family obtain housing and Mrs. Joseph to find a job, and helped their children apply for college. “If you need assistance to fill out an application, if you need insurance, job, or a college application, go to [We Are] Oceania,” said Mr. Joseph. “Whatever you want to do, they’ll help you.” Above: Mr. Binasius Joseph describing his family’s experience with We Are Oceania. Below: Visit to WAO’s one-stop shop from the Honorable U.S. Ambassador to FSM (Federated States of Micronesia), Robert Annan Riley III, the U.S. Ambassador to RMI (Republic of the Marshall Islands), Karen B. Stewart, and the U.S. Ambassador to ROP (Republic of Palau), Amy J. Hyatt.

Kupa ‘Aina
Demonstration Natural Farming Project
At Partners in Development Foundation, we continue to address the
contemporary issues we face as an island community through the lens of traditional Hawaiian values and wisdom. We are proud to say that this year, our commitment to healthy communities and healthy families has reached an important milestone with the creation and implementation of the Kupa ‘Aina Demonstration Natural Farming Project. The name Kupa ‘Aina refers to native/indigenous foods, reflecting our goal to cultivate the land and foods utilizing ‘ike kūpuna to provide sustenance today. While use of “‘āina” would refer to being native to the land, the change to ‘aina “helps keep us focused on what our kuleana is here,” says Project Director, Kū‘ikeokalani Kamakea-Ohelo. Kupa ‘Aina is paving the way for a food-secure Hawai‘i by developing sustainable food production models and providing cultural ‘āina-based experiential learning. These production models involve methods like microbial reclamation to increase crop yields, nutrient density, and do so all using materials found locally on the ‘āina.
11
This project is a collective investment between Partners in Development Foundation, Kamehameha Schools, and the Kawailoa Youth and Family Wellness Center. This partnership shows the dedication of our partners in providing the framework for healthy and resilient communities through a collective commitment to training, educating, and making cultural experiences available firsthand. Healthy and resilient communities would not be possible without healthy and abundant food, water, and shelter. As we seek sustainable solutions and what that means, we look to our Hawaiian ancestors and the wisdom they left us in mo‘olelo, ‘oli, and traditional practices.
“Na wai ho‘i ka ‘ole ke akamai, he alahele i ma‘a i ka hele ‘ia e o‘u mau makua.” Who would not be wise on a path walked upon by my parents and ancestors?
- ‘Iolani Liholiho, Kamehameha II.
Through our collective efforts, the Kupa ‘Aina project has the opportunity to sow seeds of transformative change rooted in traditional Hawaiian values and wisdom. That way, our keiki will reap the benefits of healthy communities and a food secure future. Mahalo for all the hands that have made the beginning of this project a success!

“One of the more important financial ratios for nonprofit organizations is the ratio of program service expenses to total expenses, which provides an indication on how much of the organization’s resources are used for the benefit of those it serves. There is no minimum ratio; however, a program service ratio of 65% to 75% is typical for service organizations. For 2017, Partners in Development Foundation again achieved a program service percentage of approximately 93%. This means 93% of the Foundation’s efforts went to serving the community and only 7% went to overhead.” - Terri Fujii of CW & Associates, Inc., Independent Auditors

Partners in Development Foundation (PIDF) is an IRS Section 501(c)(3) non-profit public charity incorporated in 1997, that provides a wide range of free programs in education, social services, environmental sustainability, and integrates Hawaiian language/culture for at-risk communities in Hawai‘i.
