SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT
Background: One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) creates 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.
Project Description: Fundauniban has partnered with OLPC to provide children in Urabá with 800 laptops looking for a way to improve their future.
Impact: Kids get engaged in their own education, seeing education as the opportunity to progress instead of a duty. They learn, share, create and collaborate. They become connected to each other, to the world and to a brighter future.
