Kailash Satyarthi was born on January th, 954 in Vidisha India. He is now 65 years of age, living in New Delhi India. Something else Kailash likes to do in his spare time is cooking! His family says that he is an amazing cook! Now here is a fact about him that you might be surprised about hearing. It is surprising that when Kailash Satyarthi was born his real name was Kailash SHARMA! When he was 5 years old he changed is name (with approval) to Kailash Satyarthi which means Seeker of Truth.
Kailash Satyarthi, the man on a mission, has helped many people with peaceful marches and protests. One of his accomplishments was saving more than 80,000 children from child labour. When he was younger, on the first day of school he was looking at a dad and child working as a clobber, shoe shiners, and wondered why the kid was wor
king instead of going to school. Even from childhood he felt cfor children like that. He lead peaceful protests encouraging the government to implement laws to prevent child labour. The first march was in 928 which stretched across 03 countries! ThatΒs crazy! The march travelled 80,000 km to put forth a global demand against child labour, 40 differnt countries participated in the march. Another one was a nationwide march in Bharat Yatra India and it covered 9,000 km in 35 days to spread awareness about child abuse and traffliking. Something else you might want to know about him is that in 994 he started an initiative which at the time was called RugMart. In present time, its called GoodWeave which is a carpet industry that does not make use of child labour. So that means that any carpet they make is child labour free.
