SMGC is a global movement to ignite 'Compassion in Action' in the world. It is born out of four decades of Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi's revolutionary life and path-breaking endeavours as a social reformer.

Embracing compassion as a way of life, he has inspired millions of people across 140 countries to take compassionate action and fight for the freedom, equality and justice for the voiceless and the most marginalized.
