About Primary Schools For Africa
Primary Schools For Africa Society (PSFA) works with local Tanzanian benefactors, Project Managers and District Education Officers for their school building projects to determine the most urgent projects and provide necessary documentation to the Tanzanian Ministry of Education for approvals to construct and register the schools.
Primary Schools For Africa Society (PSFA) designs and manages the construction of the new schools from its Victoria office in liaison with the Tanzanian local Project Administrator and Project Managers through all phases of the projects; applications for approvals, site procurement, site layout and building design based on user requirements, project bidding, building construction, and school furnishings and supplies as required.
Primary Schools For Africa Society's (PSFA) members and executive team include an architect and two engineers that have many years of project experience in all aspects of building design and construction to ensure proper bidding, construction administration, construction quality and cost control. Construction materials used in all projects are durable to ensure a minimum life span of 50 years; concrete slab floors, concrete post and beam/concrete block infill walls, wood roof framing, sheet metal roofing, metal framed windows, solid wood doors and frames and plaster and wood finishes. All schools are provided with washrooms with flushing fixtures draining to septic systems. Water is provided either from existing local pressurized piping or where possible, drilled wells, and in the worst case, from elevated hand filled storage tanks.
Primary Schools For Africa Society (PSFA) is a Canadian Registered Charity (BN 829997113RR0001).
