Not only electricity, Clean drinkable water, but medical help.
If there's a remote chance that someone has an interest in medicine 
of voted to be the village doctor, that $100 laptop could save a 
life. ex. this person is sick, look for symtoms, here are plants 
crushed together to eat, spread on wound. How to make a cast for 
broken bones. Worms in stool? get these plants and eat.

Who needs electricity in a village? Got to have water.No problem fire 
making. Some villagers want there kids to read and write, because the 
parents can not. Some of the things that missionary workers do. The 
laptop remove that religious god stuff.

What a land mine looks like, How to treat a land mine wound, how to 
amputate without infection. Land mines are the most threat villagers 
have.
