Connecting Generations and Communities: One “Dot” at a Time 🌍🤝
At Dots for, we believe that true progress comes from bringing people together. In rural Africa, we are working to bridge generations, genders, and communities through our services. One of the most remarkable things we witness in the communities we serve is how our services become a focal point for everyone, regardless of age or background. You might see an elderly person standing side by side with a teenager, both engaged with one of our devices, or young children curiously watching as we set up new connections. All of them are drawn to the same spot—a single “dot” where our team members are tirelessly working to make connectivity a reality. Our initiatives naturally create linkages. In many villages, you can find men and women, young and old, gathered around one of our dedicated team members, sharing stories, learning new things, and finding common ground. These spontaneous gatherings remind us that technology has the power to connect not only places but people of all kinds. Every connection we make is about creating moments where diverse individuals come together, share experiences, and find new opportunities. That’s the heart of what we do at Dots for: connecting communities, connecting all dots.

A few days ago, we released our 2025 Impact Report — a milestone that captures not just numbers, but the experiences, strategy, and real human progress behind them. From the very beginning, our journey has been grounded in fieldwork, listening to communities, and iterating based on what works. The result, A “Flywheel of Impact”, a term we coined ourselves. Our model is simple but powerful: Connect → Digitalize → Transform. And it translates into volumes. 👥 28,000+ paying customers 📱 780,000+ unique users of our digital services 💸 7,300+ accessed financial services 🌱 400+ jobs and income opportunities created ⚙️ 7 key services deployed in our rural networks But the numbers only tell part of the story. Take Ahouangan, a motorcycle taxi driver from Bohicon, who used our BNPL marketplace to buy a better bike and grew his profit from 1,500 FCFA to 6,000 FCFA daily. Or Djegbate, a student who used to walk 1.5km for copies and now prints school documents in his own village — thanks to our collaboration with Brother to bring printing solutions to 20 rural communities. They’re not the only ones. All together, they represent everyday proof of why we exist. Each device installed, service launched, or contract signed is a dot connected toward something bigger — a family helped, a business started, a future unlocked. This progress is only possible thanks to our tireless teams in Benin, Senegal, and Zambia, our trusted partners, and the communities who continue to believe in our mission. Our 2025 Impact Report includes a year-in-brief, our theory of change, and a selection of powerful testimonials from the communities we serve. We invite you to explore the full report and stay tuned. As we speak, the next chapter is already being written. More stories, more progress, and more impact are on the way. Let us know your thoughts. 🔗 Report Link: https://dotsfor.com/pdf/dotsfor_impactreport2025_EN.pdf The flywheel is turning, stronger than ever, connecting all “dots”.
