Hagush

Hagush is a social enterprise on a mission to create a just and inclusive economy. We envision a world where all technological and scientific advances are available to all humanity. ******************* We do two things: 1. Solutions: we design and scale solutions to help advance the Sustainable Development Goals so people everywhere have the tools and resources they need to participate in the economy and society more fully. 2. Civic Action: we lead and participate in civic actions that promote global economic justice. Beyond creating solutions that ameliorate poverty downstream from the root causes, we aim to eliminate the circumstances that are creating poverty in the first place. By thinking, writing, and advancing the right narratives, we work to demystify existing structures and systems that create and perpetuate poverty, explore pathways to real systemic and structural change anchored on building a world where everyone can and will do well, and promote existing work addressing the root causes of poverty. ******************* Pay Later: Our First Solution: Recognizing the power of information and communication technology in advancing all the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), we've co-designed a digital inclusion solution with tech startups and community organization in the Global South. Pay Later is a digital technology financing service democratizing digital device access in Kenya, Ethiopia, and Uganda. Pay Later is enabling the impact of local tech startups and advancing SGD 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SGD 4 (Quality Education), SGD 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SGD 13 (Climate Action).
