Project No. 8 – Simba Milima Primary School, Doffa Village

Simba Milima Primary School was developed to satisfy a need for educating many children of families living in the Doffa village area south of Bashay village, who were too distant from the existing Bashay Primary School. The beginning enrolment was 160 children, including some transferred from Bashay Primary to alleviate their travel distance to school.

PSFA built a 2-Classroom building and an Administration building in 2016, followed by a 2-family Teacher Residence building completed in 2018. Remaining classrooms were completed in 2019. A Kitchen & Dining Hall was completed in 2023. Teacher Residences 3 and 4 were completed in 2023. Teacher Residences 5 and 6 were completed in December 2024. As of Aug 2025, a 2-classroom Preschool Building , a Students Toilet Building, and a Sports Field are under construction.

Water provided to the site from a pipe junction located a couple of kilometres to the east allows running water in the residences’ kitchens and showers. Solar panels provide electricity for lighting to all buildings and in future for computer use in the classrooms.

This project is sponsored by Safari Partners Inc of Vancouver Canada, who provide funds on a yearly basis to allow completion of the 9 building complex by the year 2026.
