IT IS POSSIBLE TO DO GREAT THINGS FROM A SMALL PLACE
Tunde Onakoya is a Nigerian National Chess master and coach. He is the Convener of Chess in Slums Africa. He is a passionate chess player and coach who strongly believes that the game of chess can be wielded as a powerful developmental tool to transform young lives and raise a new generation of intellectuals even from marginalized communities. Tunde founded Chess in Slums Africa in 2017. They are a non-profit organization which utilizes the game of chess as a framework to give children in impoverished communities access to tuition-free education, learning resources and mentorship opportunities. The vision of the project is to rewrite a new narrative and build a future that is inclusive for every African child.
We are proud to partner with Tunde to create this exclusive edition, with profits from the sale supporting their mission at Chess In Slums Africa.”
Exclusive African Print Playing Board
Each set comes with a unique chess board which was inspired by the patterns on traditional African Adire textiles. They have then been hand screen-printed and feature both Tunde’s signature and the slogan ‘It is possible to do great things from a small place’ in the board corners.
