The learners who need guidance most sit in the classes least likely to get it — and you can't sit down with 60 matrics one by one. Vela gives each of them the conversation you'd give them if there were sixty of you: a private WhatsApp chat that turns their marks into a real plan — routes, institutions, funding, deadlines. One class link activates all of it.
Email us and we'll set your school up with a link and a printable poster for the notice board.
WhatsApp group, notice board, assembly announcement — whatever reaches your matrics. That's the whole activation.
Each learner chats privately with Vela on their own phone: marks in, full plan out — routes, funding and deadlines, theirs to keep.
Learners open up to Vela precisely because it's private. So schools get the picture without the personal.
Vela runs on WhatsApp, which works on most entry-level phones, and plans can be shared. One phone in a household is enough.
No. The core guidance is free for every learner. The full plan is R49 once-off if a learner wants it — and if your school has a sponsor, the full experience is free for every learner.
Vela is POPIA-compliant. Marks and personal details are used only to build the plan, never sold, and never shown to schools or sponsors in identifiable form.
Sponsored schools. If your school is part of a sponsor's programme, every learner gets the full plan free. Ask us whether a sponsor already covers your area — or introduce us to one.
Tell us your school's name and roughly how many matrics you have — we'll send your class link and poster within a few days. It costs your school nothing.
