The BBC News website visited Nigeria to see Africa's first large scale test of the XO laptop - a portable computer designed for the world's poorest children.
The One Laptop Per Child Project's so-called $100 laptop, also known as the XO, incorporates technology and software specially developed to cope with the inhospitable conditions found in many developing nations.
Intel's laptop for developing world children, the Classmate, is also being distributed in Nigeria and around the world.
In order to save power and production costs it is smaller than a traditional laptop and has no CD-drive.
