Chess in Slums Africa is a nonprofit organisation founded by Tunde Onakoya in 2018 in Ikorodu, Lagos. Chess in Slums uses the game of chess to create educational pathways for children in underserved communities across Nigeria. It currently runs programmes in slums across Nigeria that combine chess training with STEM education, scholarships, and mentorship. Its goal is to show, by fostering discipline, drive and curiosity, that anything is possible.

Anthony Azekwoh has worked with Chess in Slums Africa on a new painting, The Grandmaster. The work is available as an archival print, which will be signed by both Anthony and Tunde Onakoya, as well as as an NFT edition on Base. 100 editions of each, $100 each. 50% of all proceeds will go directly to Chess in Slums Africa.
