🌍 From Benin to Senegal: Carrying the Spirit of Community Forward 🌍
As Dots for expands across new regions, one principle remains unchanged: our work starts with the people, not the product. In every village we enter—from Benin to Senegal—we carry with us not only our technology but also the lessons, methods, and values that have brought us closer to the communities we serve. In Benin, we built our approach around deep local engagement, sometimes organizing village-wide gatherings in places like Idaho, Imoumou, and many more. These weren’t just promotional moments—they were conversations. Often held under a tree, a symbol in many African villages of collective wisdom and decision-making, these gatherings helped initiate real connection and trust. Now, in Senegal, we are carrying that same spirit forward. In Katakel and other villages, we’re applying what we’ve learned—bringing together our team members and village residents in open-air meetings that reflect not just tradition, but shared vision. Yes, the scenery may change. The language, the roads, even the rhythm of daily life. But some things stay the same: our commitment to listening, our respect for local customs, and our focus on delivering true value to our customers. Because transformation starts with trust—and trust begins with connection.

At Dots for, “Everything for Customers” is a guiding force worn with pride on our team’s backs and carried in every decision we make. All of our team members embody this principle daily. It drives how we design our services, how we train, how we communicate, and how we show up—for every user, at every stage. This commitment is observed both in the field and the office. It fuels the tireless effort of those walking from door to door, and those behind screens fine-tuning the platform. It’s what keeps us growing, grounded in our mission: to unleash the constraints of rural Africa and give everyone, everywhere, opportunities to thrive. It’s no surprise then, that these words aren’t just printed on t-shirts—they are also engraved into our way of working. Because for us at Dots for, when we say “Everything for Customers,” that’s what keeps moving us—and communities—forward. We will keep working towards this ideal where every rural areas in Africa and beyond can thrive.

Our journey across rural Africa is gaining momentum every minute—and so is our team.

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. 🌍✨
