ADRA has distributed food, water, non-food items,

garden kits and kitchen kits to the three communities of

Saleapaga, Satitoa and Saleaumua, on the main island Upolu.

ADRA is also supporting communities through a cash-for-work

program that is providing vital income for community members,

supporting the recovery of the local economy and enabling the

clean-up of affected areas. ADRA is also providing disaster risk

reduction training to enable communities to identify their own 

disaster risks and how to reduce them in preparation for any 

future disasters.
