It gives me great pleasure to have you all here today for the

Caritas Samoa.

The Government is fully committed to continue this programme as
it is in line with the Government’s strategic priorities and ensuring
that the most vulnerable in our communities are provided the
assistance in improving their homes and livelihood during these
unprecedented times.
In collaboration with ADRA & Caritas Samoa, the Government
has allocated $2 million tala from its budget in the current
FY2021/2022 for this programme.
This Governments assistance through ADRA and Caritas Samoa
will:
1. Boost the livelihoods of the most vulnerable families
identified by building secure shelters for homes,

2. Improve living conditions and provide proper sanitation
facilities for families’ protection against Covid-19 and other

better adapt to natural disasters & emergencies.

To conclude, I would like to thank the charitable work carried out
by ADRA & Caritas Samoa over the years for our people and their
