Microsoft believes that everyone has potential. Sometimes people just need the resources to realize it.

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 centers (CTLCs). Microsoft believes that by providing technical skills training to disadvantaged individuals, we can partner to create social and economic opportunities that can change peoples' lives and transform communities.

Microsoft seeks to remove the limits to individual potential around the world by eliminating technology illiteracy.

Here are some examples of how Microsoft is helping people realize their potential

	Microsoft Dubai rally together to help Earthquake Victims in Bam, Iran.
	The Microsoft Unlimited Potential Project in Dubai Prisons
	Microsoft-UNDP Partnership in Afghanistan
	Microsoft & Labard ICT Lab for the Disabled, Lahore, Pakistan
