Requesting course material for friend in Malawi

Hello! This is a strange request, so I'll give a little bit of backstory. Feel free to skip if not interested.

My parents before they had me had gone to Malawi as part of my mom's bachelor degree in medicine, during which she'd met a whole bunch of people but one of them was a bright young kid. This kid is now in his 30s, and he's found a way to contact us again which was a very emotional time for my mom especially. Nowadays he's dabbling in agriculture consultancy. They want to go visit him again in Malawi later this year, and he'd like a laptop and we decided to patch one up and give him one of our own.

Internet is very very limited where he lives, from what I can tell he can only really access low-data resources from his phone. He comes from a place where they must farm for their own survival and where clean water isn't a guarantee. We'd like to help him by putting a bunch of useful course material on the laptop before we give it to him. He's interested in the following topics:

- Business
- Entrepeneurship
- Agriculture/land revitalization
- Microsoft Excel/Word
- Professional writing

If anyone happens to have online material on any of these subjects, or other subjects that could be useful to their situation like water purification with limited resources, we'd be very grateful to receive some so we can send it to him! Links to where such documents can be found would also be helpful, though I don't know what's useful and what isn't.

Not to get sappy, but you can kinda see it as a form of charity except instead of money you're giving information :P

Thanks!
