Microsoft Unlimited Potential (UP) is a global initiative that focuses on improving lifelong learning for disadvantaged young people and adults by providing technology skills through community technology and learning centres (CTLCs). "A community technology centre is a free or low-cost, friendly place (in a community centre, school, library, housing facility, or other convenient location) where people of all ages and abilities can come to learn about computers, use the Internet, explore new careers, further their education, participate in community activities, or develop technology skills." Microsoft seeks to remove the limits to individual potential around the world by eliminating technology illiteracy. NGOs can apply.
