The Challenges of Democratizing Access to Technology

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. Millions of people are still unable to partake in the opportunities and prosperities of our time for social, economic, and political reasons.

According to GSMA, in Sub-Saharan Africa, around 60% of the population does not use mobile internet despite living in an area with coverage, and a key barrier is smartphone affordability.

"I can't express enough gratitude to Hugush for their outstanding service. Ordering a laptop from Uganda to support my education and work was made incredibly easy thanks to their exceptional communication and cooperation. Buying a laptop in today's market from Africa can be challenging, both financially and in terms of finding a genuine product. Hagush exceeded my expectations. The laptop arrived in perfect condition—brand new, original, and exactly as advertised. Thank you, Hagush, for making this process so smooth and stress-free."
