Samoa youth

The council is working with other organisations to try and minimize drink driving and binge drinking amongst young people and ensure they are safe while enjoying themselves in parties.

“Holidays are supposed to be the happiest time of the year for our country. However, we have witnessed how alcohol consumption has made it the exact opposite,” said SNYC representative Tuala Victor Vaauli.

The Samoa National Youth Council is mandated to enhance the development of youth for the social, economic and political stability of Samoa. 

The initiative has been welcomed by the Government with Deputy Prime Minister Fiame Naomi Mata’afa calling the event a chance to re-establish control amongst the youth of Samoa as well as encourage them to get more involved spiritually,

“Programmes like these are encouraged by our government. It is another cure to the violence and problems on the rise in our islands recently,” said Ms Mata’afa.
