Started in 2002, Salaam Bombay Foundation believes that “a child in school has a future” and hence target 'at risk' adolescents studying in government and government-aided schools, through our in-school leadership programmes and after-school skilling programmes in Arts, Media, Sports and Vocational skills. Tobacco control is core to our programmes. We began in Mumbai and are today based in Mumbai, Pune, Bangalore, Jaipur and Kolkata. Through our interventions, adolescents make the right choices about their health, education and livelihood, build personal self-esteem and thrive in their future.

Appeal

You gift education, aspiration, freedom from the perpetuating cycle of poverty and a sustainable livelihood to at-risk youth from urban slums of India when you run for Salaam Bombay Foundation.

Students from SBF are between the ages of 11 to 17, live in Mumbai's over-crowded slums, have multiple responsibilities and live a highly pressured, stressful childhood. They often find themselves at the risk of being forced out of the school as soon as they are deemed capable of contributing to their meagre family incomes. We then become a refuge for children whose lives are bereft of opportunities and facilities, of creative spaces and personal attention. Through the different academies at Salaam Bombay Foundation, we work on key areas under CSR Schedule VII - Preventive Health Education, Mental Wellbeing. Vocational Skills, Sports, Arts and Media, equipping our students with multi-dimensional skill sets and career options.

Corporate philanthropy is perfectly positioned to affect social change in India owing to its ability to provide capital that can potentially solve systemic challenges. Individual employees of a donor organisation get to closely experience their organisation’s role as a significant change agent, establishing and adding to organisational credibility and camaraderie amongst its human assets.
