@znelson great idea and I spoke with a friend of mine who deals with corporate social responsibility all the time. Him and I discussed this idea some time ago and I was told that this may not be the best way of doing things. Yes, it gives us the feeling of doing some good, but without the infrastructure to support the devices, they will became useless pretty quick. One of the issues would be things that we take for granted, like a reliable power grid. We sometimes forget that not all countries have this. As "Gabriel" stated internet access will be huge issue as well as the lack of knowledge on what to do with these devices.
I would suggest that you continue with your campaign but find a different benefactor. I'd consider something more local like a non-profit organization that teaches basic computer skills etc. You will quickly find out that even a rich developed nation like ours, has a lot of groups that are far less fortunate and would greatly benefit from a campaign like yours.
