One Laptop per Child
One Laptop per Child (OLPC) is a non-profit initiative launched in 2005 aimed at providing affordable, durable laptops to children in developing countries. The program's goal is to enhance education by giving children access to technology and the internet, fostering self-learning and collaboration. The laptops are designed to be low-cost, energy-efficient, and user-friendly, making them suitable for various environments.
The OLPC project emphasizes the importance of education in breaking the cycle of poverty. By equipping children with laptops, the initiative seeks to empower them with knowledge and skills necessary for the digital age, ultimately improving their future opportunities and contributing to community development.
