Scottish Computer Assignment Project (SCAP)

ScotLanka Network will undertake to refurbish used computers donated by Universities, Colleges, organisations and individuals in Scotland. Refurbishment will be carried out under Microsoft Authorised Refurbishing license. All refurbished computers will only be offered for charitable purposes in Scotland and in Sri Lanka.

ScotLanka Network has therefore decided to offer refurbished computers in three different categories under Scottish Computer Assignment Project (SCAP) as follows:

1. Lending fully refurbished computers to individuals living in those areas identified as within the worst 15% Data Zones. The loan would be for a minimum period of one year at a nominal fee of £1 per week. Priority will be given to: unemployed adults; asylum seekers and refugees; school children; and students eligible for fee waiver.

2. Refurbished computers will be sold to Scottish Charities and Community-based organisations at a very reasonable price.

3. Donate shipments of refurbished computers to most deserving poor schools in Sri Lanka.
