Salaam Bombay Foundation

About us

Established in 2002, we work with BMC school children. These children live in an extreme poverty and deprivation conditions lacking self confidence and self esteem. We supports these 'at risk' kids in programmes that engage them and helps them to build their Self Confidence and recommits them to stay in school. We are currently in over 200 schools in Mumbai.The Harvard School of Public Health has studied our model and found that children in Salaam Bombay's programmes have greater ambition and over 90% commit to finishing school. They have higher self-esteem and confidence than their peers and have lower tobacco use rates not only compared to other children but also less than one-third of the national average. Now that they are staying in school, we are confident that there is hope for their future.
