Our Vision
Hagush is committed to creating a world where all technological and scientific advances are available to ALL humanity.
In an ideal world, scientific and technological advances would be available to all humanity, and the digital world would be a space for everyone, regardless of income and location. Centuries since the industrial revolution and decades into the information revolution, our reality is far from that. Billions of people are still unable to partake in the opportunities and prosperities of our time. We want to change that.
"It is not the lack of resources, but the inability to access them, that lies at the root of poverty in the modern world."
- Amartya Sen
Our Philosophy
We believe change is best effected with solutions that prioritize impact above all else.
Effective problem solving requires a dogged focus on making problems go away. We’re willing to go beyond the conventional path, even if it means crafting solutions that don’t fit into neatly packaged, funding-friendly programs.
We believe that the ultimate solution to many of the challenges we face in the Global South, including the digital divide, lies in enabling the economic transformation of nations.
While creating solutions that address the symptoms of poverty is essential, we also recognize the need to tackle its root causes. Beyond creating ameliorative solutions, we aim to redress the circumstances that are creating poverty in the first place. This means addressing the laws and institutions that perpetuate global economic inequality.
We believe that the best solutions are cost-effective.
We are deeply committed to ensuring that every dollar we invest creates an impact worth at least that amount. Given the $4.3 trillion deficit in global development finance and Africa's ever-increasing net outflow of resources, cost-effectiveness is key consideration of our work.
