Samoa's Government has received grant assistance of over $US373,000 from Japan to support construction projects on the small islands of Apolima and Manono.
Representatives from both islands signed the grants in a ceremony at the Japanese Embassy in Apia.
RNZ Pacific reports the grant is for the construction of a safe house on Apolima to support residents in the event of natural disaster, and to renovate Salua Primary School on Manono Island.
