In a joint project with the Afghan Ministry of Communication and Information Technology and local IT providers, OLPC has delivered 774 of its XO machines to students and teachers at the Zarghona Ana middle school in Kandahar. The latest consignment of laptops adds to the 3,700 machines which OLPC has distributed in Afghanistan so far. Empowerment through education According to Negroponte, technology could improve the outlook and prospects of children in the country and combat the forces which have allowed groups such as the Taliban to flourish. “The XO laptops will empower a new generation of Afghan citizens to connect with the world, think critically and challenge indoctrinations of intolerance,” he said.
