Ben is the owner of Alakaʻi Pressure Washing. After more than 10 years in business and 450 happy customers, It’s time for him to invest in some new equipment so he can take on the bigger projects that his customers are asking for.

You know how the rain on this side of the island makes your walkway all slippery with algae? With Alakaiʻi's pressure washing Ben keeps your driveways and sidewalks safe, not slippery. His services also keep mold and dust down and the water running into your catchment clean.

Ben is seeking $10,000 for equipment and staff. He need to hire someone for the office and more workers. His equipment needs include a hot water pressure washer and hose reels, along with vehicle maintenance and land to build storage space for it all.

Alakaʻi Pressure Washing is dedicated to making our community cleaner and more beautiful. Help Ben continue his work by contributing to his campaign. By Funding Local, you’re supporting local businesses and creating positive change across Hawaiʻi nei.

This campaign is organized by Nā Hulu, part of ChangeMakers Hawaiʻi’s Fund Local initiative. Nā Hulu helps local businesses overcome traditional funding challenges by providing community-backed financing. Funds raised are directed to ChangeMakers Hawaiʻi’s Native CDFI and matched by 50%, and offered as low-interest, revolving loans. Businesses can use, repay, and reuse these funds over three years, after which time the money becomes part of a “forever fund”. This long-term, self-sustaining fund provides flexible financing for future small businesses.
