The aim of this educational project, is on one hand to bring Universal Primary Education by 2015 as - anno year 2000 initiated - United Nations Millennium Development Goal nr.2. On the other hand, OLPC's mission is to manage the open hard and software project, to bring forward the best possible laptop combination for education: the XO-XServer combination. For this and above approach, - and also a lot of lobbying by the right persons on the right places and time - the United Nations is a Partner in this Open Community project! It is the largest educational project undertaken by Humanity ever, and deemed by many as one of the most inspiring projects out there. 2008, saw the first countries with a 100% roll out to all of their kids aged 5 till 15: Peru, Uruguay. Several Island States have a 100% deployment too; Rwanda and Australia are following at fast pace too. Every XO can load over 100 ebooks on its memory and has a choice of over 86.000 eBooks available, as well as many (educational) games, all education disciplines covered, etc. etc.. things are moving fast indeed.
Tunisia has a special relation to OLPC as it was at the ITU - Tunisia in 2005, that the OLPC XO-XS was presented to the world together with Kofi ANAN - the United Nations Secretary General.

Although OLPC has not opened any legal OLPC Tunisie entity in Tunisie, Tunisie does host the European Headquarters of OLPC in the magnificent surroundings at the befriended SWIFT company near Brussels.
OLPC/Une Ecole Par Enfant et la Tunisie ont une histoire intime: Nov. 2005, "The Green Machine prototype", styled by Design Continuum, was unveiled at the WSIS - World Symposium on the Information Society, Tunisia by UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan and Nicholas Negroponte.
Fuseproject has developed the more recent prototypes.

Tunisie is a very multi-cultural society with a very diverse diaspora. We hope that this diaspora will work their way to these pages and that society in Tunisie will benefit from these citizens with one leg in Tunisie and another still in their countries of origin to develop leadership for OLPC, Agenda 21, the MDG's and accelerate bringing the level that our planet can be a nice place for all humans to new and inspiring heights for generations to come.
Voici le changement que provoque une implementation XO-XS; le visage des enfants parle assez:
