One Laptop Per Child initiative
Preparing every child across the region to succeed in school and beyond is a priority at United Way for Southeastern Michigan, and using technology, we hope to connect more young people to quality educational resources. The reality is that every child who fails to enter kindergarten ready to learn or is not able to keep pace early on in school is more likely to dropout, or fail to reach his or her potential. But together, we can set these youths up for success.

United Way is raising funds to buy low-cost computers through the One Laptop Per Child initiative. For every $400 raised, one computer will go to a child in southeast Michigan and a second computer will go to a child in a developing country. Help us help them by making a contribution today. This is your chance to change a life.
