Who We Are
We Are Oceania (WAO) is a 501(c)3, public charity organization in Hawai'i that was founded in 2017 by a group of Micronesians to advocate for the health of individuals and families, empowering them to weave their indigenous skills, knowledge, being, and values with their newly acquired knowledge of their new community in Hawaiʻi, to reach their full potential and become self-sufficient.
