=== Philanthropy === Likelike was involved in a number of philanthropic projects. On February 19, 1874, she created and organized the [[Hui Hooulu a Hoola La Hui of Kalakaua I]], a charity of which she was its first president. Organized one week after her brother's ascension to the throne, it took its name from his motto (''"Hoʻoulu Lāhui"''; "to increase, restore, re-establish and advance the ''lāhui'' [people]").<ref>{{cite web |title=E HOʻOULU LĀHUI |url=https://sites.google.com/a/hawaii.edu/hawaiian-studies/home |website=University of Hawaiʻi Maui College}}</ref> The organization provided assistance for the needy, including financial help, clothing, medical care or shelter, food, and family burials.{{sfn|Dailybulletin|1888|pp=4–11}} Likelike helped her sister to found the [[Liliʻuokalani Educational Society]], an organization "to interest the Hawaiian ladies in the proper training of young girls of their own race whose parents would be unable to give them advantages by which they would be prepared for the duties of life", in 1886. She led one division of the organization, and Liliʻuokalani led the other. It supported the education of Hawaiian girls at Likelike's alma mater, Kawaiahaʻo Seminary for Girls, and [[Kamehameha Schools|Kamehameha School]]. After Likelike's death, Liliʻuokalani assumed full leadership of the organization.{{sfn|Liliuokalani|1898|pages=113–114}}{{sfn|Bonura|Witmer|2013|pages=120–121}}{{sfn|Hawe|2018}}
