We at a community of dreamers fighting for change. We are not armed with weapons that destroy but with chess sets that empower. Our greatest asset is the stories of love that we share because through that we can inspire the world.

What if it was a safe world for all of us.

What if it was a safe world for all of us?
We are constantly discriminated, segregated from services that matters, each day we are counted as people that do not mater.
My world has always been full of worries, asking my self who will open for me openly?,where will i get the next meal?, will i see the next day?
If fellow humans don’t kill you, hunger will destroy you, if hunger doesn’t destroy you diseases will strike you down.
This is my world, this is the world we live in.
What if it was safe for all of us.
Dear @thegiftofchess @RaiseChess if it was for chess, maybe i would have gone from this world for a long time.

How do we measure "impact"?
In her latest blog, Basika Jenny challenges the systemic biases that favour visibility over integrity. She argues RLOs aren't "hidden"—they're holding systems together in ways traditional aid often overlooks.

Over the past several years we have imported over 50,000 @thegiftofchess chess sets from China spending over 500,000 USD. Now we can keep those resources we previously spent in China, in Africa as we have developed local production for the first time. Chess has grown significantly across Africa and the demand for educational chess sets exploded. This week nearly 10,000 children competed across Kenya in the National Chess Championship, an all time high. Kenya wants chess in every school across the country and has the governments support.
Chess is taught in schools across the world and has proven to improve test scores and overall academic outcomes. It builds important critical thinking skills and helps build communities of success.
Also we are cleaning up the environment.
So basically we are still producing useless things in Africa.
This is a lower primary school project in Japan. Y’all think chess will solve Africa’s problems? Mass Producing something that is already overly produced with low demand.
