About The Global Shapers Kano
Thirteen years ago, someone in Kano decided that this city deserved a seat at the table.
In 2013, the Global Shapers Community, a World Economic Forum initiative bringing together young leaders in cities across the world came to Kano. The founding team was small. The mandate was simple: bring together the best young minds in this city, give them a platform, and trust them to do something meaningful with it.
What followed was thirteen years of people proving that trust right.

The Kano Hub has operated through political transitions, economic turbulence, a global pandemic, and the constant pressure of running a volunteer-led organization in a city that never stops demanding more. Through all of it, the hub has continued; recruiting new Shapers, delivering community projects, building partnerships, and adding its voice to the conversations that shape Kano’s future.
We have run blood drives in hospitals short of supply. We have sent Shapers into secondary schools to broaden the horizons of students who had never been told their ideas mattered. We have organized civic campaigns that helped women understand and exercise their right to vote. We have built internship pipelines, run health awareness programs, supported orphans and widows, promoted cultural identity, and created platforms for young people to speak on the issues they care about most.
Not every project changed the world. But every project changed something; and the people who delivered them were changed by it too.
Now, in our thirteenth year, we are building on that foundation with more intentionality than ever before. We have formalized our governance, launched the hub’s first Local Charter, built systems designed to outlast any single curatorship, and committed to a vision of a Kano Hub that is more organized, more visible, and more accountable than at any point in our history.
The best years of this hub are not behind us. They are ahead; and we are building toward them deliberately.
Our Mission
To develop young leaders in Kano, accelerate community-driven action on the issues that matter most, and amplify the voices of our generation in the decisions that shape our city and our world.
