Full Description

Project narrative

On December 19, 2018, Ambassador Wang Xuefeng from the Chinese Embassy attended a ceremony donating one of 20 water tanks in Samoa. Working with Women in Climate Change (WICC) and TankGuy Samoa, the China International Development Cooperation Agency (CIDCA) installed 20 water tanks on the island. The ceremony celebrated the installation in Vailoa, but water tanks were installed in other villages (including Apia, Saleimoa, Lefaga, Si'umu, Falealili, and Aleipata) in the two months prior to the ceremony. The total cost for this project is noted as 30,000 Samoan Tala by the Samoa Observer.
