Welcome to Ukulele Project Hawaii, where our mission is to
“Put ‘ukulele in the hands of our keiki”
Our Mission
Larry and Kyra Santos
At Ukulele Project Hawaii, we are driven by a simple yet powerful vision: to put ukuleles into the hands of our keiki and enrich their lives through the power of music. We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow, and find their voice—no matter their background or circumstances.
Our commitment is unwavering. We strive to make a difference by providing free ukuleles and lessons to less fortunate/underprivileged youth across the islands. Through community support, passionate instructors, and dedicated volunteers,
we aim to nurture a new generation of musicians, storytellers, and dreamers.
Music has the power to heal, connect, and inspire. By equipping our keiki with ukuleles and the skills to play, we are not just creating musicians—we are building confidence, creativity, and a sense of belonging.
Join us in our mission to spread the joy of music throughout Hawaii. Together, we can make a lasting impact—one strum at a time.
