Sixteen-year-old Mohamad Al Jounde from Syria was awarded the International Children's Peace Prize for his efforts to ensure the rights of Syrian refugee children.
Al Jounde, a refugee of the Syrian civil war, received the prize from Malala Yousafzai, who won the Nobel Peace Prize in 2014 for her work for children's rights.
He set up a school together with his family in a Lebanese refugee camp that currently provides 200 children with education.
Since 2005, Kids Rights, the foundation committed to defending children's rights worldwide, annually awards the International Children's Peace Prize.
