ADRA Samoa

📣The ADRA Samoa staff joins the Samoa-Tokelau SDA Mission in announcing the appointment of Emalaine Tuese-Masoe as our new Country Director.

As we welcome Emalaine to this new chapter, we wish to acknowledge our former Country Director, Vui Levaai Pereira, for her time and service to the organization. We wish her God’s richest blessings in all her future endeavors.

Emalaine’s journey with the ADRA family spans over a decade, having served in various programmatic and financial roles, and in the last 5 years as CFO. Her transition to this leadership position is a testament to many years of mentorship by Su’a Julia Wallwork and her own long-standing dedication to our mission, both factors resulting in Emalaine’s deep understanding of, and empathy with the communities we serve. Known for her steady and thoughtful approach, Emalaine brings a heart for servant leadership and a sincere commitment to the growth of her team.

As she begins this new season of service, we hold the promise of Joshua 1:9 over her: “𝑩𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒂𝒈𝒆𝒐𝒖𝒔... 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑳𝒐𝒓𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝑮𝒐𝒅 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒘𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒈𝒐.”

Please join us in welcoming her as she takes on this responsibility, leading ADRA Samoa in its continued work to make a meaningful difference one life at a time, to serve humanity so all may live as God intended.

Ma le fa'aaloalo,
Asiata A Wright
Associate Country Director
