About Our Foundation
Ignite A Life Foundation began in 2013 with the dream of the then 15-year-old Alexander Muto. Born and raised on Maui, Hawaiʻi, Alexander was troubled by the large discrepancies in the financial and educational opportunities available to many of his classmates. Moved by his kuleana (responsibility) to help others, Ignite A Life Foundation was created to increase the educational opportunities and earning power of the youth of Hawaiʻi.
What We've Achieved
Over the years Ignite a Life Foundation has worked with the Kaho‘olawe Island Reserve Commission, the Department of Education of Maui County, 19 different High Schools throughout Maui County, and with some of our students coming from the rural communities of Hana, Lanaʻi and Molakaʻi. Recently we have started the Hawaiʻi Youth to Medicine Program (HYM) thats' goal is to create the next generation of local doctors in Hawaiʻi.
