Testimonials

I wholeheartedly recommend Salaam Baalak Trust (SBT) for its exemplary work in transforming the lives of street children in New Delhi, India. As a donor for the past three years, I've witnessed SBT's remarkable efforts in providing fundamental needs like food, security, education, and sanitation. Their Mental Health Programme is particularly commendable, offering crucial counseling and support to help children overcome traumatic experiences. SBT's dedication and effective initiatives make it a deserving recipient of support from organizations like Global Giving.

Saurabh Uboweja (Donor)

Founder & Managing Partner, BOD Consulting

I came to SBT as a child in 2002. In 2012, I completed my education and chose dance as my career. I specialise in Mayurbhanj Chhau and contemporary dance and have performed nationally and internationally. I teach the students at SBT too. I am grateful for the generous support of SBT.

Rohit

SBT Alumnus, Professional Dancer

This programme gave me the best experience of my life. Working with the boys and teaching them new things was so rewarding. Their stories and personalities are amazing and I hope they go far in life. Salaam Balaak is so wonderful for giving these boys a great life. I love them and will miss them very much. Hope I can see them again!

Volunteer

I came to SBT when I was very young, with only my name and nothing else. But today, I have an identity, thanks to SBT. Over time, I managed to achieve milestones, including a scholarship from VAHANI for my under-graduation. Currently, I am pursuing a course in Journalism and Mass Communication, and have also received a Gandhi Fellowship that I will join soon after my exams.
