Step by Step, One Motion: The Spirit of Teamwork That Powers Dots for🔗
At Dots for, progress is built on shared effort. Small, purposeful actions that link together across time, space, and roles. Tasks started by one are pushed forward, piece by piece, by others in the chain. One person begins a task, another picks it up. A teammate supports from the ground, another brings it to completion above. When one part is done, it flows naturally into the next. This is how we move: together, in perfect relay. From Benin to Senegal and more, every service we deliver and every life we impact is the product of this chain. We work hand in hand—passing ideas, responsibilities, and support across borders, departments, and time zones. This spirit is not only practical but also symbolic. It reflects what we believe in at our core: collaboration, trust, and shared purpose. This chain is the reason we’ve come this far on our journey to unleash the constraints of rural Africa. It’s what allows us to keep growing, adapting, and innovating—without losing pace, quality, or care. And like any strong chain, its strength lies in each link—each person, each contribution, each “dot”.

In the heart of rural Benin and Senegal, a quiet yet powerful shift is underway. Women and children, often the heartbeat of these communities, are seizing the opportunity to learn new skills through our innovative digital platform. This represents a catalyst for change. For the women who balance caring for children and managing households, our digital platform offers a gateway to empowerment. Beyond watching videos; it’s about mastering skills that can turn into real income—from launching small businesses to enhancing conventional techniques. They’re not just learning; they’re transforming their futures. And then there are the children, curious and eager. Engaging with practical content, they are building foundations that will support lifelong growth. Dots for is inspiring the next generation of innovators and leaders. Our strategy focuses on these key groups because we know that empowering them creates ripples of progress throughout their communities. It’s about turning everyday moments into opportunities, about lighting the spark that drives sustainable change.

In our work, we’ve learned to think outside the box. Our approach to meetings reflects our adaptability and creativity. While typical meetings tend to occur indoors, we sometimes find ourselves gathering under the shade of a tree or wherever works best. What may seem like a casual break is often a strategic session where we swiftly address challenges and refine our approach. During these meetings, we discuss our progress and figure out how to improve our services or approach to our customers. With the help of local communities, we can meet just about anywhere, which makes collaboration easy. The support we receive from villages is incredible. Whether it’s by offering us space or sharing insights about their community, it helps us do our jobs better. This team effort is vital as we strive to create more job opportunities and income for everyone. At Dots for, we value teamwork and collaboration and we believe that simple gatherings can lead to big changes. Together, we’re making rural areas brighter, one village at a time.🌱🤝

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”.
