Unveiling the
King and Queen
in Every Pawn







To empower, uplift, and educate 1 million children in marginalized communities across Africa over the next decade, using chess as a focal point.
WHY CHESS?
A Game of Strategy, A Tool for Transformation
At CISA, every move tells a story—stories of children rising above adversity, communities coming together, and partnerships driving transformative change.
Our Approach to Sustainable Impact
We believe that every child, regardless of their background, holds the potential to rise beyond adversity and build a brighter future.
Through a transformative blend of Chess, STEM education, and socio-emotional development, we equip children with critical thinking skills, resilience, and a strong sense of self-worth.
Guided by a trauma-informed approach, we nurture future leaders from underserved communities—empowering them to break cycles of poverty and become catalysts for lasting change in their societies.

- University/College Education: #300,000 for a year
- Vocational Training: #100,000 for a year
Additionally, you can mentor a child or contribute to internships that help shape their future.
