One Laptop Per Child

"One Laptop Per Child" (OLPC) was founded by Nicholas Negroponte. The goal of this organization is to provide children in developing countries an educational experience - in other words, an access to knowledge. From November 12, 2007 until December 31st, OLPC has established an offer to North American residents called, "Give 1 Get 1," which allows the consumer to get 2 laptops for a certain price, with one of them being sent to a child in a developing country.
