Bolt and Chelo: a tale about Motse Maria

At Chelo, we believe that when a community pours into a school, they aren't just fixing a building—they are fueling a future. Our latest milestone at Motse Maria Boarding School is a testament to exactly that.

Through a powerful partnership with Bolt, we have officially completed a transformative project that brings dignity and modern resources to the learners of Motse Maria. This wasn't just about infrastructure; it was about proving that when corporate vision meets community need, real change happens in real-time.

A Vision Realised

The completion of this project marked a defining moment for our mission. Watching the transformation take shape, our CEO, Maker Khalo, reflected on the journey:

"It was the coming together of what I envisioned. As a moment, not only did this serve the school and Bolt, but it was a thumbs up for Chelo—we arrived."

Why This Project Matters

Motse Maria, like many schools we work with, had clear goals but needed a transparent bridge to reach them. By using Chelo’s digital fundraising platform, Bolt was able to see exactly where their contribution was going, track the milestones, and witness the impact of their investment.

For the learners, this project means more than just a renovated space—it’s a message that their education is a priority and that the world is invested in their success.

What’s Next?

We’ve arrived, but we aren’t stopping here. Motse Maria is one of many schools across South Africa ready for a transformation. Whether it's a science lab, a new roof, or e-learning tools, the needs are real—and the solution is collective.

To the team at Bolt, thank you for believing in the bridge we’ve built. To the community at Motse Maria, we can’t wait to see what your learners achieve next.

Join the movement. Whether you are a corporate partner or an alumnus, you can help us build a future where every child learns in dignity.
