This month, we celebrate Charles Reed Bishop’s dedication to kuleana on the 204th anniversary of his birth: Jan. 25, 1822.
Charles Reed Bishop, husband of Kamehameha Schools Founder Ke Ali‘i Bernice Pauahi Pākī Bishop, was the driving force that brought his wife’s wishes to fruition and was a revered citizen of the Hawaiian Kingdom. As a prominent Hawai‘i businessman, banker, philanthropist and trustee, he utilized his personal finances and organizational skills to build the initial Kamehameha Schools campus, hire teachers, and guide the school’s mission to educate Hawaiian children.
It is through educational systems change that we can restore the Native Hawaiian people and uplift the lāhui.
Together, we can uplift the lāhui. We can create positive change. Join us today in giving with Pauahi.
