Giving

Whilst it is the cutting edge of technology, and the centre of collaboration from many people and companies in the Industry, it is designed to be very functional, rugged, cheap educational device for children. The XO laptop is not designed as a desktop replacement, or indeed a second laptop. It has a relatively small 7 inch screen, small keys and simplistic interface.

Please don’t forget that you’re buying TWO laptops – one is going to someone who really can make the most out of it. If you don’t feel comfortable with your own XO laptop, then pass it on to someone else, ideally, a child who will make use of it.

Our Vision for One Laptop Per Child is to participate in the "Give 100" scheme where we run fundraising with an aim to bulk buy XO laptops and have them delivered to children via the OLPC.

We want your opinion to help us decide whether to feature adverts on the One Laptop Per Child pages, where the revenues will all go towards our project from these pages.

There are many ways other to contribute to the One Laptop Per Child Foundations work, not just financially. The official One Laptop Per Child website has details on where and how you can connect with local volunteers, work with the translation service, provide technical support, develop new software such as games and programs, or organize a local event.
