One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) is an organization that has been building a nifty laptop that is quite durable and has some incredible capability. Here's their mission statement:
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. When children have access to this type of tool they get engaged in their own education. They learn, share, create, and collaborate. They become connected to each other, to the world and to a brighter future.
This shows a Google Map of where the OLPC has already started to deploy:
