Morad Shaker has named Cheyenne, Wyoming, as the U.S. headquarters for his growing network of nonprofit organizations and international humanitarian initiatives. The decision establishes Wyoming as a central base for the next phase of his work in the United States and internationally.
The transition follows approximately eight months of international activity in Asia and an extended period based in Hawaii. Shaker has now established his physical base in Cheyenne, where several organizations within his network are registered or headquartered. The city is expected to play an increasing role in coordinating the network’s activities.
The move also marks a personal transition, with Wyoming becoming Shaker’s new U.S. home as his international initiatives continue to develop.
Advancing the Shaker Global Poverty Reduction Ecosystem
The Shaker Global Poverty Reduction Ecosystem remains the flagship initiative within Shaker’s current humanitarian work. Developed over several years, it aims to establish structured pathways toward sustained economic opportunity and greater financial stability for qualified participants.
The initiative was initially planned to begin with a Bangladesh pilot in 2025. Following delays to that broader implementation, its development moved toward a wider international approach, with phased activity now being planned during 2026 and 2027.
As the framework develops, people in more than 30 countries are expected to have opportunities to participate. Access will depend on the initiative’s legal, operational, eligibility and verification requirements.
Building on the Experience of Operation Bangladesh
Operation Bangladesh remains the starting point and a significant part of the poverty-reduction initiative’s history. Experience gained through that program helped shape the broader international direction now being developed through Shaker Global Network.
The network also includes Phoenix Passage, an emerging international youth initiative intended to connect young people across more than 30 countries through opportunity, leadership, integrity, service and responsibility toward future generations.
Alongside Shaker’s nonprofit organizations and other humanitarian programs, these initiatives form a wider framework covering poverty reduction, education, humanitarian service, animal protection, integrity, emergency response and public service.
A Wyoming Allocation for 50,000 Qualified Participants
As part of the announcement, Shaker identified an allocation of participation opportunities for 50,000 qualified people in Wyoming within the developing Global Poverty Reduction Ecosystem.
The allocation is intended to establish a defined place for residents of his new home state as the initiative progresses toward implementation. Participation will remain subject to eligibility, verification, integrity, legal and operational requirements.
Further information about qualification and implementation is expected as preparations for launch advance.
Establishing a Wyoming Base for International Work
Shaker’s move to Cheyenne comes as several years of organizational development progress toward a new stage of international implementation. His stated objective is to establish a lasting institutional presence in Wyoming while continuing humanitarian initiatives with an international reach.
The approach centers on building the network’s base in Wyoming, creating meaningful opportunities for the state and coordinating broader humanitarian work from Cheyenne.
