MEDIA RELEASE – SVSG Celebrates 2025 by Acknowledging it’s Allies in 2024 : ‘E LE GALO LE ALOFA’’ (SVSG President. Siliniu Lina. Chang)

Date: 07/01/2025

The Samoa Victim Support Group (SVSG) extends its warm thankfulness to the many individuals, organizations, governments, volunteers, community village representatives, churches, business communities and donors both locally and abroad who generously contributed in supporting the commitments of SVSG in 2024.

The voluntary works, donations, charitable services, supports from communities and unseen prayers significantly impacted the lives of those SVSG serve, providing them with the necessary strengths for a safer and more dignified recovery.

Recalling the SVSG outreach efforts through its advocacy, engagements and Free Helpline services in 2024, SVSG would not have accomplished any of its past year projects successfully without these kindhearted allies.

The outpouring support to SVSG through partnerships in 2024 has been a testament to the strength of the community's solidarity. With these generous contributions, SVSG is able to continue offering our victims a safe haven, access to counseling, support services and resources for reintegration into society in 2025 and the years ahead.

'E le Galo le Alofa,' said SVSG President. Siliniu. Lina. Chang, in her encouraging words as SVSG embarks on its 2025 journey. Madam President urged the SVSG personnel to acknowledge the combined and collaborative efforts of ALL SVSG partners and friends in the success of 2024.

The love (ALOFA) showcased through the partnerships of 2024 have made the past year a memorable and one of the most blessed year in the history of SVSG.

This year 2025 celebrates the 20th year Anniversary of SVSG since 2005, and it will be a great milestone to honour the collective victory of the SVSG and ALL its partners and 'aiga'. (from 2005 - 2025)

SVSG is looking forward to achieve greater success together with its allies and partners in this new year, and praying that 2025 will bring new opportunities, growth, and accomplishments in all its partners' endeavors.

Samoa e, faafetai faafetai faafetai tele lava…
