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.🌱🤝

At Dots for, we  believe that transformation has no borders. What began as a bold idea in Japan has now traveled across the African continent—from Benin to Senegal and now, most recently, to Zambia. Just days ago, our team successfully installed the first DC box in Zambia. A new geography, a different rhythm—but the same mission and the same village-centered approach. We still follow the same commitment to building trust and our belief that technology, skills, and opportunity should be within everyone’s reach, no matter where they live didn't change. By expanding our reach, we’re connecting all the dots. From East Asia to West Africa and now Southern Africa, our model adapts, but our vision remains: unlock rural potential by enabling people, empowering communities, and creating access to a better future. As one school principal in Zambia shared after experiencing our DC video service: 🗣️ “I am proud that what you have developed in Benin and Senegal also works in Zambia, far away from where we are.” Crossing borders doesn’t mean changing who we are, it rather means bringing our purpose to new places, with humility, passion, and people at the center of everything. We’ve only just begun. 🌍✨
