Ho`ōla Nā Pua (HNP), which means “New Life for Our Children,” is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.

The crime of sex trafficking occurs at an alarming rate and is reported to impact youth in Hawai`i above the national average. HNP provides services and creates partnerships to protect youth and to support healing for survivors. 

CURRENT PROGRAMS
• Education Program
We prevent sex trafficking by providing engaging education sessions to students and staff in schools. Students learn risk factors, warning signs, and how to get help. We also equip first-responders, service providers, educators, law enforcement, and the tourism industry with knowledge and tools to respond to sex trafficking victims and survivors. 
• Hoku Program
We provide support to youth through weekly group sessions at juvenile facilities. Activities teaching resiliency and healthy life skills serve to empower youth during their journey of healing. 

• Starfish Mentoring Program
We provide a mentor to youth 11-21 years of age who are at risk of or have been exploited. Mentors provide consistent support for youth on their journey of healing moving towards self-efficacy and safe healthy relationships. 

THE FUTURE OF HEALING
• Pearl Haven
The Pearl Haven campus will be the first residential treatment campus for commercially sexually exploited girls in Hawai`i. Currently under renovation, the campus will be home to 32 girls, 11-17 years of age. At Pearl Haven, girls will receive individual and group therapy, clinical care, and family therapy. Designed to provide comprehensive healing, girls will also be able to continue their education and participate in enrichment activities such as music, art, and sports. After Pearl Haven, girls will have the confidence and ability to successfully reintegrate into heir families and community.
