Mumbai – NGO Salaam Baalak Trust

This NGO, created in 1989, helps street children in their development and achievement of their goals by facilitating services such as healthcare and education within a carefully managed environment. It is inspired by the unique spirit of Bombay’s street children, who also are the inspiration in Mira Nair’s acclaimed film ‘Salaam Bombay’. We provided basic essentials at the students’ residence for their regular use.
