ABSTRACT

The mission of the One Laptop per Child (OLPC) movement is to ensure
that every school-aged child in the lesser-developed parts of the world
is able to engage effectively with their own personal laptop, networked
to the world, so that they, their families and their communities can
openly learn and learn about learning.

The OLPC Association focuses on designing, manufacturing and
distributing XO laptops to children in lesser developed countries,
initially concentrating on those governments that have made commitments
for the funding and program support required to ensure that all of
their children own and can effectively use a laptop.

Initially the OLPC Foundation is focusing on the grassroots, "bottoms
up" aspects of the OLPC mission. It provides grants and loans for the
development and use of open educational resources and grassroots
learning innovations that enhance the effectiveness of the XO in lesser
developed communities around the world for children, their families and
communities.
