Change the World
Donate 100 or more Laptops and decide where we send them.
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 to the world.
Where:
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, Afghanistan, and the UN Palestinian Refugee Camps (http://www.unrwa.org).
What:
The price range for the Give 100 and Give 1000 programs is:
$219 per laptop to OLPC partner countries and the 50 Least Developed Countries (http://www.un.org/special-rep/ohrlls/ldc/list.htm)
$259 per laptop to the rest of the world
Each donation of 100 or more laptops includes spare parts, participation in workshops, and on-line technical support. Donations of 1,000 or more include the above, plus on-site assistance from OLPC staff.
