<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) organization is a non-profit organization whose mission is to create educational opportunities for the world's poorest children by providing each child with a rugged, low-cost, low-power, connected laptop with content and software designed for collaborative, joyful, self-empowered learning. Founded in 2004 by Nicholas Negroponte, OLPC reflects many of the ideas espoused by Negroponte's associate, Dr. Seymour Papert. Although well-known for the development of the little green computer known as the XO, OLPC states that their mission is an educational one, not a technological one. Although the original promise was that the XO would be the "$100 computer" based on projected countrywide sales of a million+ machines, when first released in 2007 the actual cost was $188 (US). The organization states it is working to bring the cost down to $100 (US) or less. <br />
<br />
Over 100,000 XO computers have been distributed to school children in Uruguay. Other areas that have seen large-scale implementations include Peru, Birmingham, Alabama, and Rwanda. In June, 2009, the OLPC in partnership with the government of Rwanda launched a Global Center for Excellence in Laptops and Learning in Kigali. Rwanda has committed to supplying all of its 2.2 million primary school children with personal laptops by 2012.</div>Susaneinhorn
