Morad Shaker announced that Cheyenne, Wyoming, will serve as the U.S. headquarters for his expanding network of nonprofit organizations and international humanitarian initiatives. The move places Wyoming at the center of the next stage of his U.S. and global work.
The announcement follows approximately eight months of international work in Asia and a long period based in Hawaii. Shaker has now established his physical base in Cheyenne, where several organizations in his network are headquartered or registered and where more of the network's coordination is expected to take place.
The release presents the move as both an organizational decision and a personal transition, with Wyoming becoming Shaker's new U.S. home while his international initiatives continue to expand.
The Shaker Global Poverty Reduction Ecosystem
The Shaker Global Poverty Reduction Ecosystem remains the central initiative in Shaker's current humanitarian work. Developed over several years, the framework is intended to create structured pathways toward longer-term economic opportunity and financial stability for qualified participants.
The project was originally planned to begin with a Bangladesh pilot in 2025. After circumstances delayed that broader implementation, the initiative shifted toward a wider international model and is now being developed for phased activity during 2026 and 2027.
The release states that people in more than 30 countries are expected to have opportunities to participate as the framework develops, subject to the initiative's operational, legal and verification requirements.
From Operation Bangladesh to a Wider Global Movement
Operation Bangladesh remains the origin and an important part of the history of the poverty-reduction initiative. Experience from that program contributed to the broader international direction now being pursued through the Shaker Global Network.
The network also includes Phoenix Passage, an emerging international youth initiative intended to connect young people across more than 30 countries around opportunity, leadership, integrity, service and responsibility for future generations.
Together with Shaker's nonprofit organizations and other humanitarian programs, these initiatives form a larger framework spanning poverty reduction, education, humanitarian service, animal protection, integrity, emergency response and public service.
50,000 Opportunities Allocated for Wyoming
The announcement includes a Wyoming-specific allocation of access for 50,000 qualified people to participate in the developing Global Poverty Reduction Ecosystem.
The allocation is intended to give residents of Shaker's new home state a defined place in the initiative as it moves through implementation. Participation will remain subject to eligibility, verification, integrity, legal and operational requirements.
Additional details about qualification and implementation are expected to be introduced as the ecosystem advances toward launch.
From Wyoming to the World
Shaker's establishment in Cheyenne comes as several years of development across his organizations move toward a new period of international implementation. The stated goal is to build a durable institutional presence in Wyoming while continuing initiatives whose intended reach extends internationally.
The release frames the strategy around a simple direction: establish the network in Wyoming, serve the state meaningfully, and coordinate wider humanitarian work from there.
