🚀 Unlocking Rural Africa's Potential with Connectivity
At Dots for, our mission is to transform life in rural Africa using technology. We're creating smart villages and communities, reshaping the way digital services, communication infrastructure, and affordable devices reach rural residents. 🌐 Our Focus: In rural Africa, millions of people have limited access to communication facilities due to geographical and financial constraints. Dots for is changing the narrative by establishing a distributed wireless network, making communication more accessible and cost-effective. 📱 Enabling Digital Transformation: Harnessing wireless mesh network technology, we offer affordable digital services at under $3 per week, providing villagers with unrestricted access to a variety of content, including educational and vocational training videos. We also offer affordable smartphones through a rent-to-own model, removing access and affordability barriers for rural residents, and empowering them to acquire new skills, increase income and access opportunities. 🤝 Community at the Core: We employ local staff and agents who know village-specific challenges and languages, fostering robust community relationships. 🌐 Expanding Our Reach: Since our launch in December 2021, we've extended services to over 100 rural areas in Benin and Senegal. Our goal is to continue expanding, transforming lives, and empowering rural Africa. Our commitment goes beyond connectivity; it's about empowering lives. Stay tuned for updates as we bridge the digital gap and transform lives, one village at a time.

In the heart of rural Africa, our journey began with endless possibilities. From Benin to our expansion in Senegal, each installation stands tall, a testament to our commitment to empowerment. Our device often requires strategic placement for optimal performance. One of our first tentatives occurred in a small village in Benin, home to a community of fishermen and sand collectors. This initial success allowed us to gain support and expand our services significantly. Each installation represents not just a technical achievement but a promise of transformation. With every village we reach, we bring more than just connectivity—we bring the potential for economic growth and community development. As we rise to new heights, we see not just towers, antennas, or digital devices but gateways to opportunity. Each connection lights up a path to progress, sparking hope and driving change. In every village, our presence resonates as a promise of transformation. Together, let's unlock the potential of rural Africa, one connection at a time. Join us as we reach new heights and empower communities to thrive. 🚀🌍

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.🌱🤝
