About us
We do very little of this alone.
State departments open the doors, NGOs bring community trust, chess bodies provide the competitive pathway, and funders pay for the schools that cannot.

Partnering with us
We work with NGOs that are already trusted in their communities rather than setting up parallel operations. In practice that means we supply the curriculum, the equipment and the coach training, and our partner supplies the relationships and the room.
For corporate funders, the unit we work in is a school-year: one school, thirty weeks, coach, equipment and training included. We report against it with attendance data, assessment results and photographs, and we tell you when a school has not gone well.
Interested in partnering?
Whether you are a state department, an NGO or a potential funder, we would like to hear from you.
