Lokahi Foundation

The Lokahi Foundation is a non-profit, social impact charity that was founded in 2005 by Professor Gwen Griffith-Dickson in order to enrich society and enable it to embrace community and religious diversity with respect and understanding. Lokahi is religiously impartial and works alongside community partners to develop and deliver innovative programmes that address problematic tensions and promote positive social change from within. The charity pioneers projects with measurable impact on communities and ground-breaking, evidence-based research that probes the universal foundations of society's faiths, beliefs and values. Lokahi's mission is to make a positive impact on diverse communities by transforming the relationships within them. Through informed analytical research and practical community projects, Lokahi achieves harmony through diversity - which is what the Hawaiian word 'lokahi' means.
