Breaking the Poverty Trap in Rural Africa

In many African villages, a negative feedback loop keeps communities locked in poverty: low investment, weak infrastructure, reliance on unstable farm income,outmigration of talent and even less investment.Dots for was born to break this cycle. By deploying affordable digital infrastructure,providing access to smartphones and services, and creating new income streams, we transform villages from 'uninvestable' into thriving rural economies. Founded in 2021, we've now reached over 400 villages in Benin, Senegal, and Zambia and continue to grow with an expanding partner ecosystem. This ecosystem not only connects communities but it also empowers them to leap into the digital economy and improve their quality of life sustainably.
