Lauli’l is a small community about 20 miles east of Apia, Samoa. About 2,100 people call it home.
The local primary school auditorium is the central gathering place for the entire community. Years of use and the effects of time caused the centre to be in need of significant repairs.

The newly completed assembly hall in Lauli'l Samoa© 2025 by Intellectual Reserve, Inc. All rights reserved.The hall was used by school children for assemblies but also served as a hub for many community events and activities. Various churches use it for their worship services and activities.
The Village School Committee reached out to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints requesting help with the project.
The improvements included refurbishing the assembly hall floor, installing 21 ceiling fans, replacing the restrooms, creating a new library to free up a classroom, and installing water tanks to provide clean water to the canteen and restrooms.
During the project, Vainiu Te'o, High Chief of the village and others rallied the community to contribute service to the project. Together, they painted the hall, added new mesh to the windows, installed secure entry doors and laid floor tiles in the restrooms.
The collective effort showed the villagers’ community spirit and dedication.
The Lauli’I Primary School improvements stand as a testament to what can be achieved when a community comes together with shared vision and purpose.
