IDP Camp to Global Stage: How chess is transforming lives in Adamawa
The “Chess in IDP Camps” initiative in Adamawa State, Nigeria, is changing lives through the power of chess. Spearheaded by Vivian Ibrahim, a former beauty queen and founder of the Queen Vee Chess Academy, the programme introduces children in Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps to the game of chess to build critical thinking skills, and resilience, and open new doors for them.
