Consuelo dreamed of a community where disadvantaged children, women and families achieve dignity, self-esteem, and self-sufficiency.

Families who live here were selected from their positive values, commitment to the Foundation’s principles, and their strong work ethic.

 
HONOLULU STAR-BULLETIN, 1997:     Last year the Alger Foundation became the first Hawaii organization to win a nationwide Peter F. Drucker Foundation Award for Nonprofit Innovation, named after the renowned business management expert.

Joey Kahala, project manager, said 200 families applied for eight houses during the last round. Some have overcome many obstacles to own their homes. One single parent of five shared the construction work with her mother. Another woman, who didn't graduate from high school, became the first of 16 children in her family to own a home.
