The Gift of Chess currently has 50,000 chess sets in Africa. We have already reached Ghana, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, USA, Seychelles, South Sudan, Somalia, Malawi, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Tanzania with 1,000 plus chess sets each. As we look to provide each additional country in Africa with 1,000 chess sets for micro distribution (5 chess set gifts across schools, orphanages, refugee camps, chess clubs, and community centers) We are looking to raise $5,000 to continue to reach each new country. Even though the chess sets are already paid for, money is needed for the shipment of these chess sets, custom fees, and a budget for distribution once the chess sets arrive in each partner country.
Once we have completed our distribution across Africa, we hope to target the Americas next which includes 41 countries. Our goal is to reach each country globally and donate 1,000,000 chess sets by 2030.
5,000 - One Country
10,000 - Two Countries
15,000 - Three Countries
20,000 - Four Countries
25,000 - Five Countries
100,000 - 20 Countries
250,000 - All of Africa
