Why Kano matters for AI data.
A centre of Hausa
Kano is one of the largest cities in northern Nigeria and a centre of Hausa language and culture.
Textile trade
Kano’s Kantin Kwari market is known across West Africa for textiles, alongside tailoring and embroidery.
Traditional crafts
The Kofar Mata dye pits, where cloth has been dyed with indigo for centuries, are among the city’s best-known crafts.
How a new city opens.
ID-checked recorders
BVN or NIN plus a live selfie matched to the ID, and a bank account in the same name, before any paid task.
Consenting workplaces
Each workplace is registered in person by a TrustAm field agent, with the owner’s consent and a location fence.
Live capture only
A spoken challenge code, motion sensors and GPS show each clip was filmed live, at work. No camera-roll uploads.
Blurred and reviewed
Bystander faces and number plates are blurred; a trained reviewer approves or cuts every minute before delivery.
Buyers usually ask.
Why not just record Hausa in Lagos?
For many projects that works. For dialect coverage, rural speech or northern trades and settings, recording in Kano itself is better, and that is what we would scope.
When will Kano open?
When a buyer order needs it. Email us and we will reply with an honest plan and timeline.
