I knew a girl in school who had one of these. It was a neat little gadget at a cheap cost, but was criticized for not solving more pressing issues (water, schools) and there was no training provided for teachers. The laptops also weren't sustainable and difficult to repair.

It seems the initiative is still kicking since their website is still alive (albeit without an HTTPS certificate).

Sounds very much like a fallacy of relative privation to me.
