The Sāmoa Association
San Diego

Tālofa & Welcome!

The Sāmoa Association San Diego was established in 2019 with its mission to promote and enhance understanding of the Samoan culture, customs, traditions and language among both the Samoan community and the general public through educational activities, outreach, charitable efforts, and spiritual projects.  

“Thank you (TSASD) for your support, your time, and your generosity. It means so much to us, especially for the lives we are working to save. Thank you for being part of our team. We are also inspired by the work you do-it is incredibly important to preserve our cultural values in communities abroad. Let’s work together to save as many lives as possible. We pray for your continued good health and for your community to grow, enriched with Samoan culture in that part of the world.”
— SVSG President Siliniu Lina Chang

TSASD Partnership with the Sāmoa Victim Support Group (SVSG)

TSASD President Papali’i Thomas Alailima, along with active members Galumanemana Doreen Alailima and Valasi Alailima, proudly presented their community’s monetary donation to SVSG President Siliniu Lina Chang. This generous contribution is a token of their gratitude and support for the impactful work SVSG does.
