The [[One Laptop per Child]] non-profit develops a low-cost laptop—[[XO|the "XO Laptop"]]—to revolutionize how we educate the world's children. Our [[Mission|mission]] is to provide educational opportunities for the world's most isolated and poorest children by giving each child a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop; and [[activities|software tools and content]] designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning. |
|||
As of March 2011, we have produced XO laptops for roughly 2 million children around the world, the majority of them in [[OLPC Uruguay|Uruguay]], [[OLPC Peru|Peru]], [[OLPC Rwanda|Rwanda]], [[OLPC Haiti|Haiti]], [[OLPC Mongolia/Ulaanbaatar|Mongolia]] and the [[OLPC Birmingham|United States]]. These laptops all run [[Sugar]] and [[Fedora Linux]], and have customized software and content builds developed by their national deployment teams in collaboration with OLPC staff. We maintain a regular update of [[Deployments|deployment information]]. |
