In the past, information was mainly exchanged in person within the village. Dots for enables access to information and opportunities beyond the village through digital communication. This helps bridge the information and opportunity gaps, and brings new options and perspectives to rural areas.

From Isolation to Connection

Our Approach

Through collaboration and innovation, our mission is to contribute to a world where development is not just a goal but a continuous journey towards a harmonious and more equitable society.

Development

It is a powerful force that promotes understanding, tolerance, and the creation of a supportive environment where diverse perspectives contribute to the achievement of shared objectives.

Cooperation

Whether it's financial aid or community projects, this simple phrase sums up the idea of supporting others to help them overcome difficulties and achieve their goals.

Support them

Everything we do is done to maximize the value delivered to our customers.

Everything for customers

Our Core Value Statements

We treat everyone with respect and believe that each of them is a "Dot" with the potential to change the world.

Trust all "dots"

We create moments that make our heart tremble as we pursue our beliefs.

Shake your heart

We must have a mission to prove the meaning of our existence through our own actions.

Prove your value for the world

We are not afraid to fall down. A failure is not a failure if we have the opportunity to get up and learn a lot.

Tumble first

We must realize that we don't know what we don't know, we continue to search for a better world and continue our adventure to expand our world.

Be modest explorers

We doubt the well-known problems and taken for granted, and act based on your own experiences and thoughts as the party concerned.

Stand on your feet

Dots for Inc. will change the lives in African rural areas through the power of technologies.

Dots for .

We live in a world full of possibilities, yet one vast region stands on the verge of significant transformation - rural Africa, holding immense potential

Empowering Rural Africa with digital innovation

In the villages of Benin and Senegal, and soon across many African countries with limited network infrastructure, children can now dream big

Unleashing the Potential of Rural Children

Our digital services empower all rural residents, including women, enabling them to build new products and embark on a journey of economic empowerment.

Transforming Communities

Dots for uses a local communication network to build digital platforms for rural users who cannot access the internet. Through these platforms, we provide a variety of useful smartphone-based services, helping to close the digital divide and solve the challenges that rural communities face through the power of communication and technology.

Today, around 3.5 billion people around the world live in what is known as the digital divide — a state where individuals are unable to access or benefit from digital technologies and internet connectivity. Due to both economic and geographic barriers, they have been left behind by the wave of digitalization and access to communication networks. This situation has created a huge information and opportunity gap between rural residents and the rest of the population, which in turn has created a serious income disparity. In Africa, internet penetration remains below 30%. However, traditional telecom operators have little incentive to make large investments in infrastructure for these regions, where populations are widely dispersed and income levels are low. As a result, the digital divide continues to persist with no clear sign of improvement.

Our Purpose

There are disadvantages that people have to tolerate by living in a rural area. Even if they choose to go to cities for job opportunities, they have to pay a high cost of living and live away from their family. Dots for Inc. exists to eliminate such disadvantages and build a world for everyone to choose where to live without feeling inconvenience.

d.Connect is a distributed wireless network technology that selectively transmits through multiple wireless routers in a distributed manner, unlike the conventional star network centered on a base station.
d.Connect will be installed in each rural village scattered across Africa, where the Internet communication network is still underdeveloped, using this technology, which is now in widespread use, to provide constant Internet access and various online services running on it.

The distributed wireless network technology "d.CONNECT"

To facilitate access to our d.Connect and better navigation for villagers, we sell them smartphone for which they are required to pay per week.

Digitalization of Rural Areas realized by "Smartphone Installment Sales”

Achieving digitization in rural areas hinges on the widespread availability of extremely affordable internet connections. By making these connections accessible at minimal cost, rural communities can harness the transformative power of digital technology to bridge socioeconomic gaps and drive inclusive development.

Digitization of rural areas achieved through the sale of the very low-cost internet connection

At first we chose green as our African color, but after a while we noticed that the color of the walls and roofs of the houses where our customers live in rural villages was “Aka-sabi” (rust-red). Aka-sabi really matches our vision
