A small pebble can create a big ripple! Another great news update March 2026. Mapuipulotu Home for the Aged in Savaii (which we helped source gear for from the CDHB and several generous aged care facilities in the South Island, N.Z with our partnership with St Vincent de Paul in Christchurch, N.Z), along with Mapuifagalele Home for the Aged in Apia, have both just received funding of WST $100,000 each from the Samoa Government Wellbeing Support Programme. For Mapuipulotu this funding is to be used, 'to assist with furniture and facility support, enhancing living conditions and comfort for elderly persons in care...'. The official statement from The Honourable Minister for Women, Community and Social Development, Hon Moefaauouo Julius Ah Kui Tafuna’i, says, ' “Our elders are the foundation of our families and communities. Supporting institutions that provide them with dignity, safety, and daily care is not optional, it is our duty,”.
