CCAP

A community digital learning centre in Mile 91

CCAP is SLIHSD's community access initiative: a shared digital learning space so that lack of a computer or an internet connection does not decide who gets to learn.

What CCAP is for

Shared access, so learning is not a privilege

In and around Mile 91, many capable learners have no personal computer, no stable electricity at home and no affordable internet. CCAP exists to remove that barrier by putting equipment, power and connectivity in one community space that people can use.

The centre supports SLIHSD learners taking online and blended modules, and is intended to open more widely to students, teachers, young people and small organisations in the community who need somewhere to work, learn and practise digital skills.

It occupies the former MADAM building behind Winners Church in Mile 91 — a locally known location that is reachable on foot for many of the people it is meant to serve.

We deliberately do not publish learner numbers or impact figures we have not verified. Where we can evidence results, we will report them.

Current challenges

What is holding the centre back

These are the real constraints today. Naming them is how we invite the right help.

Computers

The number of working machines limits how many learners can sit a session at once.

Electricity

Power supply is inconsistent, which interrupts classes and shortens usable teaching hours.

Furniture

Desks, chairs and secure storage are needed to seat a full class safely.

Renovation

The building requires repair, wiring, painting and security improvements.

Internet

Reliable connectivity and data are needed for online modules and research.

Equipment

Projector, printer, backup power and basic accessories for practical teaching.

Limited funds

Operating costs are currently met from very limited resources, restricting how far the centre can reach.
