This is a laudable effort. I will however suggest that this program be localized.
Local affiliate teams can server as holding bays and dispatchers of donated laptops.
So if I want to donate a laptop here in Lagos, Nigeria, I simply send the said laptop to
the local affiliate team and communicate with Wikimedia HQ. when someone local needs a
laptop, HQ approves and the local affiliate team on receipt of approvals dispatch the
laptop to the person laptop was donated to.
This will ensure global reach, reduce cost and improve efficiency of the project.
