SayPro Mother’s Day 2025 Speech By Puluko Nkiwane, Chief Marketing Officer, SayPro

Date: 11 May 2025
Occasion: Mother’s Day Celebration – SayPro Global Event

Ladies and gentlemen, colleagues, partners, and most importantly, mothers—

Good morning and a heartfelt welcome to all of you, wherever in the world you may be joining us from. Today, we pause. We take a moment away from the hustle of projects, strategies, and growth targets—to honour the most powerful title anyone can hold: Mother.

At SayPro, we exist to empower people through education, innovation, and opportunity. And when we speak of empowerment, we cannot ignore the first leaders, the first educators, the first caregivers, and often the first dreamers in every story—our mothers.

In homes across Africa, across the globe, it is mothers who rise before dawn, not just to feed and nurture, but to build futures. It is mothers who sacrifice, innovate, teach resilience, and lead—quietly and powerfully.

Many of us here are who we are because of a mother’s courage—biological, adoptive, or chosen. And in many communities where SayPro works—whether in rural villages, township classrooms, or online platforms—it is mothers who enroll, who encourage their children to learn, and who sometimes become learners themselves, redefining their own possibilities.

This year’s theme for SayPro’s Mother’s Day is: “Empowered Women, Empower Generations.”

It is more than a theme. It is a truth we see daily. When we train a mother, we uplift a family. When we support her ambition, we activate a ripple effect that touches entire communities.

So today, I salute every mother who is juggling work and education. I honour every grandmother raising a second generation. I celebrate every young woman dreaming of motherhood and leadership—not as two separate paths, but as intertwined strengths.

At SayPro, we commit to building systems that respect and support women’s roles in society—not just on Mother’s Day, but every day. Through flexible learning, mentorship, business support, and inclusion, we aim to make the impossible feel possible—for mothers everywhere.

To the SayPro team, thank you for never forgetting the value of empathy in impact. To our partners and supporters, thank you for walking with us in this mission. And to the mothers—we thank you. We honour you. We stand because of you.

Let’s continue to build a world where motherhood is not a barrier, but a badge of strength, innovation, and transformation.

Happy Mother’s Day 2025.

Thank you.
