As the year draws to a close, we reflect on how far we’ve come. From empowering rural communities with new skills to introducing tools that transform lives, 2024 has been a year of growth, innovation, and impact. This year, Dots for has worked tirelessly to bring technology, skills, and opportunities to African rural communities. From empowering various layers of rural populations in Benin and Senegal to introducing innovative solutions like the DC Box, every effort represents a step toward our mission: to unleash the constraints of rural Africa and unlock its limitless potential. We’ve taken bold steps in constantly evolving our business model, making it possible for our platform to do more than ever before. We’re offering tools that empower communities to improve their activities, discover new opportunities, and connect to markets far beyond their local communities. Farmers and crafts workers can access better equipment, and women can learn skills that boost their incomes. Soon, we envision individuals in these communities offering their products and services to customers around the globe. As we look forward to 2025 at Dots for, we do so with smiles on our faces and excitement in our hearts. The new year brings fresh opportunities to deepen our impact, connect with even more communities, and drive lasting change. Together—with our incredible team, our valued partners, and the communities we serve—we will continue to break barriers, open doors, and create a future where opportunities have no borders. Here’s to a bright and prosperous 2025, filled with new milestones, transformative changes, and shared success. Thank you for being part of this journey. Together, we are invincible.

In Senegal, one region stands out as both a foundation and a launchpad for Dots for’s mission—Kaolack. As one of the first regions where we began our activities, Kaolack holds a special place in our journey. Today, its team is not only growing in number but also in strength, vision, and impact. Expanding our work in Senegal comes with challenges—from navigating new terrains to earning the trust of local communities. But Team Kaolack meets each of these with determination and heart. Day by day, they are introducing Dots for services into more villages, building connections, installing infrastructure, and guiding communities toward digital inclusion and economic opportunity. Their work is laying the foundation for something bigger. As Kaolack grows, so does our footprint. Regions like Kaffrine and beyond are already experiencing the wave of transformation powered by Dots for. Team Kaolack represents a symbol of progress, of how local commitment can drive national impact. We’re proud of everything they’ve achieved and even more excited for what’s to come. With Kaolack rising, so is the future of rural Senegal.
