Rotary, a global humanitarian organization that brings together business and professional leaders to provide community service, promote integrity, and foster goodwill and peace around the world, has announced Bolt as the official mobility partner for its upcoming District Centennial Conference and Awards.
The conference will be held from 15th to 18th May 2025 at the Sarova Whitesands Beach Resort in Mombasa and will mark 100 years of Rotary’s service in Africa. The event is expected to draw over 800 delegates from Kenya, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Eritrea, and beyond.
As part of the partnership, Bolt will offer a 15% discount on all rides to and from the conference venue throughout the event. The discount will be available to all Rotary delegates travelling within Mombasa via a promo code, which will be shared with conference delegates and attendees.
Dimmy Kanyankole, Bolt General Manager for Kenya and Tanzania, said: “We’re proud to support Rotary D9212 as their mobility partner and help ensure reliable and efficient transportation for delegates during their stay in Mombasa. We understand that seamless mobility is especially important in a coastal city like Mombasa, where guests, many visiting for the first time, need easy and accessible ways to move between venues. Our goal is to make their experience as smooth as possible, allowing them to focus fully on the conference and its celebrations.”
The partnership is part of Bolt’s broader commitment to supporting community initiatives and events that bring people together around shared values of service, inclusion, and local impact.
Dr. Joe Kamau, District Governor for Rotary District 9212, noted:
“In line with our mission of ‘Service Above Self’, this partnership with Bolt will further help us facilitate the participation of Rotarians from across the region in this landmark event. Reliable mobility plays a crucial role in enabling connections and collaboration throughout the conference and I am glad to have Bolt as one of our key partners.”
The discounted rides can be accessed through the Bolt app by entering a unique promo code that shall be available to delegates and will be valid during the conference period.
