Hawaii

The Women’s Federation for World Peace (WFWP) Hawai’i Chapter was honored to participate in the 2nd Annual Hawaiʻi Buddha Peace Festival, themed “Compassion, Love & Peace.” The festival, held on August 16, 2025, from 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM at the Chinatown Cultural Plaza, brought together peace organizations, cultural groups, and community members for a day of performances, activities, and fellowship.

Throughout this past quarter, the many HerTribe gatherings nationwide continued to provide uplifting spaces for support, acceptance, and deep spiritual growth. Thanks to your generous contributions, a total of 27 HerTribe meetups occurred between April and June, which reached and empowered 344 women.

Organized around the vision that "niu is a relationship rooted in community and aloha ʻāina," the day began with a group prayer and an introduction to Hawaiian cultural traditions, focusing on the significance of coconuts.
