The grant, which the company announced in a statement on Monday, will support the launch of Project Reconnect, a program from NetHope to equip nonprofits working with refugees in Germany with Chromebooks, and allow access to educational programs, information about the asylum process, and ways to connect with family members.
"Chromebooks have proven to be a good fit for education purposes. They can be easily set up to run education or language learning apps," Jacquelline Fuller, director of Google.org, wrote in a blog post. "They're automatically kept up to date with the latest features, apps and virus protection. And they can be configured and managed by a central administrator (in this case the nonprofits) to offer relevant programs, content and materials depending on the situation."
In addition to providing educational programs, Google said the Chromebooks could be configured to feature information about the asylum application process on a pre-installed homepage. Nonprofits interested in applying for the grant can do so on NetHope's website; distribution of the first round of computers will begin on March 1.

*When* that happens, can we sue Google for every penny they ever earned?
Don’t worry Googles stupid customers will be paying
They’ve tried it before in the LA School District. It worked as most outsiders thought it would, failure on a massive scale including the suing of Apple.

We all know what kind of person tries the same thing over and over expecting a different result.
I am sure google will get a nice tax break because of this. This is how things that didn’t even exist 20 years ago become rights.
