When Kielburger was 12 years old he was shocked to learn about the murder of Iqbal Masih, a child-labourer-turned-child-rights-activist. He established "Free The Children", eager to take action and determined to help free children from poverty, exploitation and powerlessness. The organization began as a small group of classmates in Thornhill but quickly grew with chapters being established all over the world with head offices currently in Thornhill, Ontario. Under Kielburger's leadership, Free The Children and its volunteers have built more than 400 primary schools, providing daily education to over 35,000 children. Free The Children's many accomplishments in the areas of education, alternative income, health care, water and sanitation provision and peacebuilding have facilitated high profile partnerships with organizations such as the United Nations and Oprah's Angel Network.
