Reflected by their namesake “Kucheza” - a Swahili word meaning “play” or “to play” - the organisation demonstrates a new level of value in gaming. Kucheza has been helping Nigerian pupils with access to meaningful opportunities that enable digital skills development and showcase a breadth of related careers in tandem.
