All 2019 Children’s Peace Prize Nominees

Elvis is a proactive boy, not just at school, but also at home, despite being exposed to horrific treatment at home, including being deprived of basic necessities. He believes education is very important. He always encourages children his age to continue studying and sensitizes them about their rights. Elvis convinced his brother to report their stepmother to local authorities for abusing them, which eventually helped them find their biological mother. He also persuaded children at his school to continue studying and not sell junk material.
