About Satyarthi Movement for Global Compassion (SMGC)

SMGC has three verticals :

SMGC Ignite : Fostering compassion through learning and leadership programs anchored in the Satyarthi Compassion Quotient™ with a focus on systemic and sustainable problem-solving.

SMGC Impact : Catalyzing grassroots transformation by empowering children, youth, and women with a focus on democratic participation and collective action.
