In rural Benin, women play vital roles as creators, innovators, and catalysts for change, not just as supporters of their households. Daily, we observe women engaged in selling goods or transforming agricultural raw materials into valuable products, particularly in rural regions. These scenes highlight the immense potential waiting to be harnessed. At Dots for, we understand that this potential knows no bounds. What we currently witness—small-scale transformations within villages—is only the start. Through their creativity and diligence, these women are laying the groundwork for something much more significant. With the appropriate tools, knowledge, and opportunities, they could market their products and services beyond their local communities, reaching customers worldwide who need their expertise. This journey begins with Dots for. Our services empower women to enhance their skills, develop their businesses, and connect with opportunities that extend far beyond their immediate environments. We dream of a future where their products and services can access global markets. At Dots for, we are dedicated to making this vision a reality and believe in supporting our customers every step of the way.

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.
