Anchor Heritage Initiative believes rehabilitation extends beyond vocational training, it also includes developing the mind. In partnership with Chess To School, we launched the Chess as a Correctional Tool Initiative, introducing structured chess education into Nigerian correctional facilities. The initiative first began at the Borstal Institution, Abeokuta, where inmates underwent an intensive 100-day chess training programme designed to strengthen critical thinking, discipline, patience, emotional intelligence, and decision-making. Building on this success, the programme was extended in January 2026 to the Kirikiri Medium Custodial Centre, where inmates received two months of intensive chess training. The impact quickly gained international recognition.
