The German Embassy supports water security in Samoa by funding 12 water tanks for the district of Vaisigano 1 in Savaii. These 3,000-liter tanks will be distributed among Asau, Auala, and Vaisala — villages with the lowest rainfall in Samoa. The tanks will store rainwater during the wet months, ensuring a reliable water supply during drier times, bringing lasting water security to these communities.

The Member of Parliament for Vaisigano 1 and Associate Minister, Niuava Eti Leatiogie Malolo, was doing the Embassy the honour of his presence during the ceremony, where he highlighted the benefits of the water tanks to the district. German Honorary Consul to Samoa, Mr. Afoa Stefan Szegedi, celebrated the success of the project, saying: “Water is life, and it is vital to have the correct infrastructure to ensure access for all.”
