OUR STORY

Founded in 2014 Ka Wã Mamua has a unique story of victories and passion. Ka Wã Mamua was formed by a group of innovators consisting mainly of professors and software engineers. The idea germinated when two professors in University of Hawai`i Maui College visited a poster presentation about the Kalaupapa memorial hosted at the University of Hawai`i campus. The presentation was commemorating the service that many gave for Lepers in Kalaupapa mountain in Hawai`i. One of the professors, Dr. Kealani Cook, is an historian and another, Dr. Anil Mehta, is a technologist. Soon they contacted their friend Eric Crawford, an mobile app. developer, and the idea for Ka Wã Mamua was born.

Ka Wa Mamua, Ka Wa Mahope!
