Kashim Ibrahim, Khadijat Kashim
You can achieve anything you get your mind at. Always act right.
Kashim Ibrahim (14)is from Nigeria known for his intelligence and deep respect for life. When he sees other kids his age being humiliated, he stands up for them.
Though not seen or heard on a global stage — he isn’t even on social media — Kashim has a quiet but real impact close to home. He notices what needs to change for children around him and dreams of an easier life for his parents. That same determination has made him a standout student academically.
Kashim loves sharing his ideas and wisdom with younger children, guiding them the way he wishes he could help his own family’s path forward.
With the loving support of his parents behind him, Kashim shows that impact doesn’t have to be loud or widely seen to be meaningful — sometimes it starts with one person choosing to look out for others.
