Our Story
Founded by Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi, Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion (SMGC), aims to globalise Compassion for justice, equality, peace and sustainability in the world.
The Movement brings together individuals and institutions from every walk of life – students, leaders, grassroots activists and global influencers. All united by a shared belief in the power of Compassion to change the world.
We believe that Compassion is not a soft emotion. It is a force born from feeling the suffering of others as one’s own, that drives mindful action to end that suffering.
Embracing compassion as a way of life
Mr. Satyarthi has inspired millions of people across 140 countries to fight against child slavery and ensure freedom, education, equality and justice for the voiceless and the most marginalised.
Let us enlarge our circle of compassion and pledge to act selflessly for those who need it the most.

A huge fire broke out in the forest. All the animals were running away, including the lion, the king of the forest.
Suddenly, he saw a tiny bird rushing straight towards the fire. He asked the bird, “What are you doing?” To the lion's surprise, the bird replied, “I am going to extinguish the fire.” The lion laughed and said, “How can you do it keeping just one drop of water in your beak?” But the bird was adamant, and said, “I am doing my bit.”
