Donate, Volunteer or Sponsor an Orphan at Salaam Baalak Trust and Change Lives


Salaam Baalak Trust, an NGO in Delhi, was created with a vision to provide care, security, nutrition, education and overall a better life for the needful, distressed and deprived street children who have been abandoned or neglected since years. Most of these street kids are orphaned and underprivileged without even a hope for a healthy life or prospect of a promising future and Salaam Baalak Trust aims to provide both of these to them. 

The name Salaam Baalak is meant to be a Salute to the spirit of these brave children who have fought against numerous odds to survive the harsh and unforgiving streets. SBT provides proper care and protection to every deprived child without discriminating on any basis be it gender, religion or caste. It has opened its doors for thousands of children below the age of 18 who have been working on the streets all their life. Not only does SBT give the required care, love and nutrition but it also teaches them the importance of living a dignified life and a resolve to chase their dreams in the future. 

Salaam Baalak Contact Points 

Salaam Baalak Contact Points or CPs are SBT centres that are usually located at crowded places such as railway stations. These centres are basically the primary links that help identify vulnerable kids as they enter the city. Apart from these children, the Contact Points also work with kids who spend their entire lives on the streets and survive by picking rags or begging. New CPs have been established in various slum areas of Delhi like Geeta Colony or Seelampur since these pockets have a big population of children who face the risk of being neglected and left on the street to fend for themselves. 


Anyone can contribute to the Salaam Baalak Trust. Some of the main ways by which you can offer assistance to the children are: 
  • Volunteering to teach and motivate them 
  • Donating money for the betterment of facilities 
  • Sponsoring and orphan child 
  • Organizing fund-raising events 
SBT believes that with the support of a large number of willing donors, patrons, sponsors and supporters they can bring smile to many more faces and nurture countless more dreams as they have been doing for the past 25 years. The trust encourages the donors and sponsors to visit the Contact Points and experience for themselves how it functions on a day to day basis. Contributing to SBT by volunteering or even providing sponsorship child’s care, education and future is bound to have a positive effect on contributors.
