Behind every smooth service, there’s a team making thoughtful choices—often right on the ground. At Dots for, one of our key performance practices in rural areas is the field plenary session. After a day of activity, our teams often come together—sitting down as a unit—to reflect on their Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), discuss challenges, and adjust plans for the next steps. These moments serve to motivate each other and adjust our strategy in real time. From improving how we serve each customer, to finding better ways to respond to a community’s needs, these sessions ensure that nothing is left to chance. This simple but powerful habit helps us stay efficient, agile, and deeply connected to our mission of unlocking opportunities for rural communities. Dots for believes that progress often starts with a group of committed people sharing insights. And our particularity is that we share insights in the field as well. Let’s keep showing up, checking in, and growing together.

It feels like just yesterday that our team had the honor of attending TICAD 9, Japan’s largest international conference focused on African development. It was a powerful and inspiring event that brought together innovators, decision-makers, and visionaries from across the globe all in one place. At our booth, we had the chance to receive distinguished members of Japanese government and other stakeholders and share the work Dots for is doing in rural areas of Benin, Senegal and beyond. What impacted us most was their genuine interest, shared by companies and other organizations, in what we’ve accomplished. Many recognized in our work a true opportunity both for partnership and for meaningful impact. But beyond new collaborations, TICAD 9 reminded us of something even deeper: the value of the work we do every day in rural communities. Sometimes, when you’re in the field—navigating challenges, solving problems, close to the clients—it’s easy to get caught up in the routine of the work and overlook the scale of change we’re making. The praise that we received at TICAD is a testament to the profound transformation we are driving in rural Africa, with impact reaching far beyond, across the world. Being there reaffirmed that what we are building is not just useful—it’s essential. The world is watching, and rural Africa is full of untapped potential. Dots for is making sure to unveil that, and we’re just getting started.

In a world of fast digital marketing and mass communication, one strategy remains timeless and incredibly effective: door-to-door promotion. It’s one of the oldest forms of marketing, and at Dots for, we embrace it because when it comes to building trust, explaining services, and inspiring real change—nothing beats human connection. In fact, door-to-door promotion traces back to long before established businesses existed. In villages and towns, it was common to see traveling sellers going from house to house, offering goods directly to families. It was a way of life—a method built on personal trust, real conversations, and genuine connection. Our field teams carry that same spirit forward today. Every day, they walk the paths between homes, farms, and villages, but instead of pots, fabrics, or spices, they bring opportunities, services, and skills for a better future to people’s doorsteps. They engage in real conversations, take the time to explain, listen, and answer questions. They make opportunities feel tangible and accessible. With every encounter, our teams sharpen their approach, learning how to better communicate the real value of what we offer. They adjust, they personalize, and they grow stronger with each new door they knock on. Through their dedication, ideas are not just sold—they are shared, and trust is not just given—it is earned. At Dots for, we know that real transformation doesn’t come from distance. It comes from proximity, from presence, from meeting people where they are—and walking the road forward with them.
