The Genki Ala Wai Project
Students, Teachers, and the Community Working Together
Our Goal:
To deploy 300,000 Genki Balls and use Effective Microorganisms® (EM®) bioremediation technology to restore the Ala Wai Canal’s ecosystem by 2026, making it safe for fishing and swimming again. We hope that the success of this project will inspire the cleanup of other polluted waterways on the island.
Our Mission:
To empower students, teachers, and the community to work together to restore the ecosystem in the Ala Wai Canal.
