Description

On 29 September 2009, an earthquake and subsequent tsunami wrecked Samoa. In response, the Chinese government granted 40 million RMB to the Government of Samoa in order to quickly rebuild three schools. In fiscal year 2011-12, the Samoan Ministry of Education, Sports, and Culture received 7.02 million ST$ for this "Post Tsunami Reconstruction" project and another 5,200,800 ST$ during the 2014-15 financial year. China helped Samoa recover from the disaster in several ways, including: granting 250,000 ST$ to the Relief Fund (#61222), giving $300,000 USD to rebuild roads (#41985), and China Red Cross donating ST$ 75,000 to the Relief Fund (#37619).
