We’re thrilled to share that new chess boards have reached Raise Chess Academy in Uganda, and the smiles say it all.

Why This Matters
Chess creates space for focus, resilience, and community. Simple tools like a board and pieces can unlock lessons in planning, patience, and sportsmanship. Having enough boards in the room means everyone gets time over the board and are not just watching.

What’s Next
We will be running more tournaments to raise funds to support Raise Chess Academy. If you’d like to follow along or get involved, please reach out to us at info@64squares.org. You can also support our cause by donating here
