HAGE Initiative
Education should never be determined by where a child is born.
The HAGE Initiative helps rural students access secondary education by providing safe accommodation and comprehensive support near schools.
The Challenge
Long travel distances, financial hardship, limited infrastructure, and inadequate accommodation force many rural students out of school.
Girls are particularly vulnerable to dropping out due to poverty, early marriage, and social pressure.
The HAGE Model
Safe Accommodation
A stable hostel environment close to school.
Meals & Supplies
Nutritious meals, school supplies, and learning materials.
Mentorship
Leadership development, life skills, and guidance.
Practical Training
Agriculture and self-sufficiency skills alongside education.
Expected Outcomes
Increased access to secondary education.
Improved retention and academic performance.
Greater gender equality and youth leadership.
A scalable model for rural education access across Angola.
