Project narrative

In September 2009, an 8.1 magnitude earthquake hit Samoa and triggered a devastating tsunami, which caused substantial damage and loss of life. According to a report prepared by the government of Samoa, China granted Samoa 300,000 USD worth of bitumen for road reconstruction after the tsunami. China helped Samoa recover from the disaster in several ways, including: granting 250,000 ST$ to the Relief Fund (#61222), donating 40 million RMB to reconstruct schools (#41988), and China Red Cross donating ST$ 75,000 to the Relief Fund (#37619).
