Ralph Ajifu FFA Memorial Foundation
Ralph Ajifu FFA Memorial Foundation provides support to underprivileged or disadvantaged Hawaii agricultural education students in the state of Hawaii. The organization will support local, young people that want to become farmers in Hawaii by providing educational grants or scholarships to students lacking sufficient financial means to seek educational opportunities, enroll in curriculums, and attend events affiliated with the Hawaii ffa (future farmer of America) locally and with the national ffa across the usa. The organization will also develop and operate local events designed to encourage local, young people to pursue a farming career in Hawaii. Fundamentally, the organization seeks to spread aloha (love and fellowship) and kokua (to help others) in cultivating and caring for hawaiian natural resources.
