Through our effervescent drive to making education inclusive and a central fabric that brings communities together, we have found a likeminded organization in the Matriarch Professional Association, and would like to announce a strategic partnership leveraged on the expertise of young female entrepreneurs keen to making an impact in the lives of South African school children.
A Nation of Mothers
Matriarch Professional Association (MPA), founded by Galetlolwe Semenya, is a network of female business owners from varied backgrounds and experiences that aims to make women led businesses more viable. The association aspires to the empowering of women, enhancing their abilities in operating competitive and successful companies. These noble ethos are brought to life through periodic workshops and targeted mentorship programs enabling women to share knowledge and skills.
A Reality outpaced by Legislations
The plague in South Africa of government policies that do not match current standard practices in business and education, liken the problems both Chelo and MPA aim to fix. Inclusivity is a key that binds both organizations; For Chelo, in making education accessible for all children, and for MPA, in breaking down all the barriers that have resulted in the country having few women led businesses.
By finding a common mutual space to operate in, there arises a composite opportunity to simultaneously address multiple issues, including but not limited to:
More participation of women in the formal economy
Building trust with suppliers (through a continued work relationship)
Businesses developing and refining solutions specific to the education sector
Alleviation of government resources
More children having access to quality education
Inspire tomorrow today
At Chelo, this slogan emphasizes our belief that we cannot wait for conditions to favor the transformation needed to achieve our said goals, instead, we must take action now. Partnering with organizations like the MPA is taking action now. The CEO and founder, upon finalizing the agreement, espoused;
"This partnership transforms school development into a vehicle for economic justice, positioning women not as beneficiaries - but as drivers value and growth."
We are invigorated to be working with likeminded individuals, who seek ways to make a difference in the lives of average South Africans, who believe in the potential of the average South African child and who aren't willing to give up on the average South African.
What's Next?
As per usual, we do not bask, but continue to ask ourselves with an increasing intensity, how we can improve Chelo for the sake of those who need it most. The team is confident in its leadership and the new partnership, accelerating the goal to developing education as a tool to convalesce the general socio-economic dynamics in the country. The spirit of Chelo continues in hand with the Matriarchs!
