- Our History
From local roots to global Impact
Our story began with one woman’s courage in the face of unimaginable hardship. Our founder faced violence, homelessness, and the overwhelming responsibility of raising three young children alone, one with disabilities. Even with education and skills, she found herself struggling in a system that often overlooks those who need help the most.
Through these experiences, she saw not just the pain of those moments but also a calling—a chance to turn personal struggle into a mission to support others. Salams Foundation was created with a simple but powerful vision: to make sure no woman or child has to face life’s toughest battles alone.
