WHAT WE DO:
EQUIP
Our starting point is digital inclusion. We make digital devices affordable for farmers, families, and communities across Sub-Saharan Africa. Digital technology unlocks everything that follows — and makes cost-effective service delivery at scale possible.

- WHY DIGITAL INCLUSION
Digital tools offer a scalable, cost-effective path to reach smallholder farmers without the expense of traditional infrastructure.
Digital access is a cost-effective way to organize foundational systems.
Digital Inclusion: The missing infrastructure layer for Africa's
economic transformation.
The digital revolution has enabled an explosion of extraordinary solutions — agri-tech tools that help smallholder farmers increase their income and adapt to climate change, fintech platforms that bring financial services to those unbanked, and digital government systems that deliver services faster and more equitably than ever before.
These aren’t incremental fixes — they have the potential to be transformational, capable of lifting millions out of poverty.
But that promise is hollow if half the population cannot afford the devices needed to access it.
700M
Africans locked out of the digital economy
The hardware paywall. The key barrier is no longer connectivity.
It's the cost of a device
Nearly 700 million Africans remain locked out of the digital economy — not because connectivity is unavailable, but because devices remain unaffordable.
96% of the world lives within mobile broadband coverage. Yet 3.4 billion people remain offline globally and in Sub-Saharan Africa, only one in four people uses mobile internet.
The primary constraint is affordability of devices. For millions of households, even an entry-level smartphone represents a third of annual income.
Hagush is changing that equation.
HOW WE EQUIP
Our model for meaningful digital inclusion.
ASSET FINANCING
The upfront cost of a device is the single biggest barrier to ownership. We remove it. We purchase devices on behalf of users and enable repayment in affordable instalments over three to twelve months — turning an unthinkable purchase into an achievable one.
DIRECT SOURCING
We source directly from manufacturers and deliver straight to users — eliminating every markup in between. Combined with low-cost financing, this brings device costs 35% below standard market rates.
REVOLVING CAPITAL
Every device we finance feeds into a revolving capital pool. As users repay, the money cycles back — creating a self-sustaining source of financing that grows with every deployment.
"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."
