Our Mission
Promoting Queens uses chess to build confident, strategic, unstoppable girls and women — everywhere. Because every girl, regardless of where she comes from or what she has been told about herself, deserves to discover what her mind can do.
Our Vision
A world where no girl's potential is limited by where she was born or what she was told about herself. Where chess is a door — and we make sure she gets to walk through it.
We are a team united by chess, committed to breaking barriers and building leaders

Sustainable Development Goals
We are aligned with acheiving these SDGs
Good Health and well being
Through our programs, girls develop focus, patience, and problem-solving skills, which contribute to mental health and stress management. In refugee camps and underserved communities, chess provides a therapeutic outlet, helping girls process trauma and build confidence.
Gender Equality
We’re empowering girls to confidently claim their space in traditionally male-dominated fields. Through chess, we challenge societal norms and promote gender equity. Our programs equip girls with the skills to lead, compete, and excel in all areas of life.
Quality Education
Chess is a gateway to learning. Our training academies and online programs teach critical thinking, strategy, and decision-making—skills that translate to academic success. By providing free access to chess education, we’re bridging the gap in quality education for girls in underserved communities.
