City Walk

Founded in 1988 after the worldwide success of Mira Neir’s film Salaam Bombay, which featured Indian street children, Salaam Balaak has been named one of the most effective NGOs in India. The daughter of a social worker, Neir began the organization to help some of the millions of runaway children who end up on the streets of cities like Mumbai and Delhi. Salaam means salute and Balaak is the spirit of the child. The organization began with 25 kids and three staffers; today its 145 employees assist 6,000 children. On the City Walk, children who have gone through the program lead visitors through the streets of Delhi and share their personal stories as well as the history of the organization. Proceeds fund Salaam Balaak. Contact the Indagare Bookings Team to arrange.
