“Kids deserve the right to think that they can change the world. Children must be taught how to think, not what to think.”

A note from TundeIt started with one
It started with one
chessboard on the water.
In 2018 I carried a chessboard into a floating school in Makoko. The children there were not expected to amount to anything. Within a year one of them was a national champion. Since then more than 200 have won lifelong scholarships.
Gada is what happens when a million of us decide those children were never the exception. $10 a month, pooled, accounted for, and pointed at the places the road doesn't reach.
