PeaceJam is a global organization that unleashes the power of young people through the inspiration of Nobel Peace Laureates.
Kailash Satyarthi is a human rights activist who has been at the forefront of the global movement to end child slavery and exploitation. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 along with teenage education advocate Malala Yousafzai “for their struggle against the suppression of children and young people and for the right of children to an education.”
