Mission Statement
We have impacted the lives of over 25,000 children and displaced families, using the power of chess to restore stability, build resilience, and create pathways to hope.
We are on a mission
To empower, uplift, and educate over one million children and displaced individuals affected by war across the world over the next decade—using chess as a powerful tool for healing, learning, and transformation. Through community-led chess programs, we create safe spaces where young minds can rebuild confidence, develop critical thinking, and rediscover hope. More than a game, chess becomes a pathway to resilience, unity, and opportunity in the face of adversity.
We Find & Fund
With the backing of chess players, clubs, and sponsors around the world, we identify communities in need and deliver both funding and chess-centered programs that inspire growth, stability, and hope.
