Provide care for rescued animals, humane education to the community, and serve as a model of compassionate living.
Why is it important?
Nestled on nearly eight lush acres of Maui’s breathtaking Upcountry, Leilani Farm Sanctuary is more than a refuge—it’s a place of healing, connection, and transformation. Here, rescued animals, from gentle donkeys, goats, pigs, to you name it– find safety, love, and a second chance at life. But the sanctuary’s impact extends far beyond its pastures. As an educational haven, it opens hearts and minds, teaching children and adults the fundamental truth that all living beings—whether human or animal—deserve food, water, shelter, love, and respect. Many of the sanctuary’s residents have endured neglect, abuse, or abandonment, yet their resilience serves as an inspiring lesson in forgiveness and hope. For children from troubled backgrounds, bonding with these animals becomes a powerful, life-changing experience. Through their stories of survival and recovery, the animals help young visitors process their own emotions, fostering empathy, trust, and kindness. At Leilani Farm Sanctuary, compassion isn’t just taught—it’s felt. By immersing in this extraordinary space, visitors leave with a renewed perspective, inspired to be protectors of all life and ambassadors of a more humane world.
