For the first time ever, OLPC is offering individuals, companies and other organizations the chance to send laptops to the country or classroom of their choice. With a donation of 100 or more XO laptops, any group can give children in a specific place the chance to learn, share, dream and connect to each other and the world. |
|||
The Give Many program allows donors to bring one laptop per child to whole classes and schools, and includes Give 100 and Give 1,000 programs. It offers hundreds of students a new way of learning that is creative, collaborative and self-empowered. |
|||
Give Many donors receive invitations to a deployment workshop, on-line technical support and materials, and the opportunity to participate in the global OLPC community – 500,000 laptops strong as of August, 2008. |

'''Where:''' |
|||
Donors can specify a school of their choice, or can direct their donation to an existing OLPC program. OLPC subsidizes Give Many donations directed to the 50 Least Developed Countries (LDCs), and to selected OLPC partner countries. Partner countries are those where we are making the most progress with saturation and rural deployment. |
|||
Anywhere. From the country your family is from to the neighborhood school just down the road, you or your group can give hundreds of young students this amazing tool for learning. You can also choose to direct your donation to an OLPC partner country to help strengthen existing programs. Our current partners include Haiti, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Ghana, Peru, Uruguay, Mongolia, Nepal, Afghanistan, and the UN Palestinian Refugee Camps (http://www.unrwa.org) |

Why does is cost $219 or $259 per laptops for the Give 100 program when the Give One program is only $199? The $199 laptop is subsidized, and we can often add it to existing shipments. The laptops specifically offered in the “Give 100 or more” program can be directed anywhere and their price covers the full cost of their delivery. The delivery in our existing partner countries is $219, but in all other countries the price rises |
