Can a green machine help the world's poorest kids learn better？Nicholas Negroponte thinks so.He and his team of scientists have invented a new type of computer.As a result，many children who live in poverty （贫穷） will have their own laptop computers!
Negroponte works at a university.He started a group called One Laptop Per Child （OLPC）.The people at OLPC don't work for money.They work to help children learn.OLPC makes computers that don't cost a lot.Then they sell the machines to governments of countries that have many people live in poverty.The governments then give the computes to kids for free.
The XO Laptop computers are made for school﹣aged children in developing nations.Many of these children live in faraway areas and go to schools with classrooms.In order to work，the laptops have to be lasting and student﹣friendly.
The machines have many fun characters like a built﹣in video camera，voice recording，and games.The WiFi lets students share information on the Web and read e﹣books.They also can make music and chat with friends.
Another great character is that it can last for a long time.It can be hand chargedand also can be recharged by connecting to a solar panel.Because of these characters the XO laptops make learning fun while helping the environment.
The computers have a colorful name﹣"the green machine".Negroponte thinks they could make a difference in the lives of millions of kids.He says， "Every problem you can think of﹣poverty，peace，the environment﹣is solved with education."
OLPC plans to give out over ten million computers in the next few years.Kids in Thailand，Nigeria，Brazil，and Argentina will get most of them.China and Egypt also want to take part in the program.After that，Negroponte hopes to sell computers to other countries with high poverty.

According to UNESCO，a large number of children in villages in some African countries like Kenya and Tanzania do not go to school.They have to work to make money for their family.And more than half of people in these countries live without electricity.
A company is now working to solve both of these problems.It has created a special solar（太阳的）power station，which is in the shape of a cow，called"Solar Cow".The company encourages parents in those poor villages to send their children to school by setting up Solar Cows at schools.
Just as its name suggests，the Solar Cow can charge batteries（给电池充电）called"Solar Milks".The Solar Milks provide electricity for the families.
The batteries can only be charged using the Solar Cow，so children have to go to school to get the electricity.Everyday，children put their batteries into the bottom of their school's Solar Cow.
They go to class while the batteries are being charged.At the end of the day，they take the charged batteries home.
Each fully﹣charged Solar Milk battery can charge a mobile phone three or four times，or a radio once or twice.The battery is also a flashlight，and it can provide ten hours of light."My father used to travel two to three hours to the charging shop to charge his phone，and it cost a lot，" a boy said. "But now，he can use the battery I bring from school to charge his phone at home."
Since 2018，this company has set up two Solar Cows in Kenya and one in Tanzania.The company also started to raise money for more Solar Cows to help the poor children in Africa.
