Handmade. Grounding. Calm in a bar.
This signature soap is poured just for us — a little moment of comfort tucked inside every kit.
The Kōkua Kit
Thoughtfully packed for real life in Hawai‘i — not just hurricanes.
This kit carries more than tools. It carries calm, care, and a quiet kind of readiness.
From scripture to soap, it’s designed to steady you before the wind picks up.
Hoʻomākaukau: The Preparedness Game
Preparedness for keiki and ʻohana — without fear.
This cooperative, Hawaiian-style card game teaches real emergency skills through storytelling, challenges, and calm conversation.
Designed for all ages. Rooted in aloha.
Built from the Storm
Built from cabin mornings, salt air, and island storms,
Pono + Nohea was created for life in Hawai‘i — where being prepared isn’t panic, it’s peace.
We believe readiness can be beautiful. That emergency kits can carry both soap and scripture. That resilience and rest live side by side.
Because aloha is more than a word — it’s a way to weather life well.
Meet the Founder- Mari
It started with a late-night idea in a cabin in Kōkeʻe.
I’ve trained for disasters and responded to real ones — I have a degree in emergency and disaster management and a certification in critical infrastructure response. I’m also a veteran, a CPR instructor — and a mom. On the islands storms roll in fast — and I wanted a kit that felt like someone thought of me.
I wanted something practical — and comforting. Something with a flashlight, and a bar of soap that smelled like home.
Pono + Nohea is for anyone who wants to be ready without feeling overwhelmed. For the ones who pack early. Who stay calm. Who pray before the wind picks up.
Pono: Prepared, Grounded, Ready.
The Pono logo — a small hut with a red cross on the door — is our version of a safe place. A symbol of calm in a crisis. Simple shelter. Steady ground when the wind picks up. It represents readiness: The kits. The tools. The hands that pack before the storm.
Curated for calm. Inspired by aloha.
Nohea: Still, Beautiful, Unshaken.
The Nohea logo outlines the two islands I grew up seeing across the bay — the ones I greeted barefoot each morning as a child. They are home. This part of the brand is rooted in stillness, salt air, and the kind of beauty that doesn’t ask to be seen — it just is.
“Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable —
if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise — think about these things.”
Philippians 4:8 (English Standard Version)
“Na mea a pau e ʻoiaʻiʻo ai, e hanohano ai, e pololei ai, e maʻemaʻe ai, e ʻoluʻolu ai, a e pono ai i ke aloha ʻana —
e noʻonoʻo ʻoukou i ia mau mea.”
Pilipi 4:8 (Baibala Hemolele)
