WHEREAS, Kahua Pa'a Mua, Inc., (KPM) is a 501(c)(3)nonprofit organization
dedicated to enhancing communities through economic development, conservation/preservation,

nonfatal suicide attempts and 180 deaths due to suicide—the highest rate (per 100,000 people) in
the State; and
WHEREAS,the Hawai`i State Department of Health reported in 2015 that suicide is the
most common cause of fatal injuries among Hawaii residents, outpacing car crashes, homicide,
poisoning, and drowning, with the State of Hawai`i having the highest attempted suicide rate in
the country for youth ages 10 to 24; and
WHEREAS, KPM, in conjunction with Kaiao Ola Integrative Healing, LLC, has
organized a multi-school, suicide prevention project entitled Project Reach Out, which is

educational and informational resources, and bringing motivational speakers and entertainers to
empower our youth to make healthy choices and learn how to reach out when in need; and
WHEREAS, KPM is requesting financial assistance to cover necessary expenses,
including, but not limited to, accommodations, entertainer fees, audio-visual and sound
equipment rentals, and supplies; and
WHEREAS,the Office of the Prosecuting Attorney supports this project as suicide is
sometimes the result of domestic violence and/or substance abuse, and this project fits within the
department's objectives to support the community's efforts to prevent domestic violence and
substance abuse and improve the quality of life of our island residents; and
