If you want to donate your own laptop, consider joining others in donating to a local school or group where kids can learn together, in a well-supported environment. OLPC encourages individuals to initiate their own regional community groups,

OLPC's grassroots mailing list is a great place to find others who will work with you here.

Some groups are soliciting donated XOs for special projects. Please add your group under the appropriate category.

Places to Donate an XO

Back to OLPC

We thank you for your generous thought of donating back the laptop. It is very kind of you!

If you have the original packaging, please send in that box, or pack carefully in your own box (please try to use recyclable materials like newspaper, corn starch peanuts or even popcorn!), and mail to the address below. Please send to:

One Laptop per Child

ATTN: Give Another

PO Box 425087

Please also consider donating to others directly, either here or below.

For Elementary School Children

Developing Countries

If you choose to make contacts directly with the developing world, consider ideas like this one in India.

A village in San Miguel Cuevas, Oaxaca, Mexico is looking for donations. The name of the village is Mixtec and they have volunteers living in the United States that visit often, and can take the donations down themselves. For more information please contact Donna Slepack <dslepack@comcast.net>.

North America

• The non-profit collaboration North End Childrens Project is accepting donations of XOs for distribution to elementary school children

The Berkley family in Iowa---- We have 2 little girls' we are adopting and had a biological daughter with Angelman syndrome. Sadly our bio daughter passed away in 2006 from Meningitis. Children with Angelman syndrome can not speak so are unable to communicate without some sort of program working for them. We are looking for a user friendly compute for the girls' like the XO. Thank you in advance for any consideration in a donation of an XO as raising children with special needs can be very costly and communication devices are not something easy to get through insurance as they are not " medically necessary". Thanks you again. Cindy jcberkley94@msn.com
