We are excited to announce our collaboration with Miden, a global leader in financial technology, whose dedication to community development perfectly aligns with Chess in Slums Africa’s mission to nurture talent and unlock potential in underserved youth.  Through its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, Miden is dedicated to supporting community development projects that promote education and empowerment.

Empowering Dreams Through Scholarships

At the heart of this partnership, Miden is sponsoring 35 of our Chess in Slums ambassadors with comprehensive scholarships that cover tuition, school supplies, and vocational training across primary, secondary, and tertiary education levels. These scholarships are not just financial support—they are investments in the potential, dreams, and dignity of our young champions. By removing barriers to education, Miden is giving our ambassadors the tools, confidence, and opportunities to thrive and shape a brighter future for themselves and their communities.

Elevating Learning at the Chess in Slums Innovation Hub

In addition to scholarships, Miden has generously provided essential educational resources to enhance our Chess in Slums innovation hub, including:

• Chess clocks for tournament-level practice

• A classroom-sized abacus for hands-on learning

• A smart television to support interactive lessons

• A first-aid kit to ensure the safety and well-being of all students

These resources enrich the learning environment, making it more dynamic, engaging, and safe for our ambassadors as they grow their skills.

Building a Brighter Future Together

Miden’s commitment extends far beyond a traditional partnership. By supporting both the educational journeys of our ambassadors and the infrastructure of our innovation hub, they are helping Chess in Slums Africa lay a foundation for lasting change — empowering the next generation with the knowledge, confidence, and opportunities to succeed.

We are deeply grateful for Miden’s contributions and are excited about the milestones we will achieve together. Their support is transforming lives and championing a brighter, more sustainable future for our community.

Thank you, Miden, for believing in our vision and helping make it a reality! Cheers to Day 1!
