Twelve-year-old Sakthi from Tamil Nadu has been nominated for the International Children’s Peace Prize 2017.
The boy has taken forward the importance of education among his Narikuravar community and inspired many to send their children to schools.
The prize is awarded annually to a child who has made a significant contribution to advocating children’s rights and improving the situation of vulnerable children.
The prize is an initiative of the Kids Rights Foundation, an international children’s aid organization in Amsterdam.
The first Children’s peace prize was launched in 2005 during the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates in Rome.
