Kaua’i Habitat for Humanity is thrilled to announce that its Executive Director, Milani Pimental, has been nominated for the prestigious Women Who Mean Business Award, recognizing her outstanding leadership and dedication to making a significant impact on the community.
Milani has been an integral force behind Kaua’i Habitat for Humanity’s mission to provide safe, affordable housing for local families. Since taking the helm of the organization, she has spearheaded numerous initiatives to improve housing accessibility for underserved communities, driven volunteer engagement, and forged partnerships that have enhanced the nonprofit’s capacity to serve Kaua’i’s most vulnerable residents.
The Women Who Mean Business Award is a statewide recognition that honors women who have demonstrated exceptional leadership, made lasting contributions, and inspired others to positively impact their communities and industries. This nomination highlights not only Milani’s remarkable achievements with Kaua’i Habitat for Humanity, but also her role in shaping the future of the island’s development, fostering inclusive growth, and advancing the well-being of Kaua’i’s residents.
Under her leadership, Kaua’i Habitat for Humanity has expanded its outreach, built and repaired hundreds of homes, and provided critical resources to families in need. Her commitment to creating long-lasting change on the island and supporting economic development, all while maintaining the core values of compassion and community, has made her an invaluable asset to both the organization and the island at large.
“I am honored to be nominated for this award,” said Pimental. “This recognition is not only a reflection of my work, but of the incredible support we receive from our volunteers, donors, and community partners. Together, we are building homes, building hope, and building a stronger Kaua’i.”
The Women Who Mean Business Award ceremony will be held on March 13th, 2025, and celebrates women who have proven their ability to lead, innovate, and make meaningful contributions across all sectors. This year’s ceremony will shine a spotlight on Milani and others who have exemplified excellence, dedication, and a passion for positive change in Hawaii.
