About SALT

Grounded in service, structured for long-term social change.

Service For All Living Things (SALT) is a Delhi-registered society working across India with a people-centric model of development. Its work bridges social welfare, education, health, environment, and community empowerment instead of treating them as isolated problems.

The story

Founded by professionals who believed service should be practical, inclusive, and rooted in dignity.

SALT was established on 13 April 2005 under the Societies Registration Act in Delhi. From the beginning, the organisation was shaped by a simple conviction: sustainable development must start with the actual needs of communities and grow through participation, trust, and continuity.

That is why SALT's work spans education, preventive healthcare, gender-sensitive support, social welfare, youth engagement, and environmental stewardship. The organisation's role is not just to deliver programmes, but to create conditions in which communities can move forward with greater confidence and opportunity.

Vision

A society where all living beings coexist with dignity, access, and opportunity.

SALT envisions communities where barriers to progress are reduced, compassion informs development, and every individual has a fairer chance to grow.

Mission

Expand access to the essentials that allow communities to thrive.

SALT works to improve quality of life by advancing education, healthcare, livelihood opportunities, environmental responsibility, and social inclusion for underserved communities.

What guides the work

Values that shape programme design and institutional conduct.

Community participation

People are not passive beneficiaries. They are central to identifying needs, shaping solutions, and sustaining outcomes.

Equity and inclusion

SALT prioritises communities facing deprivation, marginalisation, weak access, and structural disadvantage.

Sustainable progress

Long-term value matters more than one-time visibility, especially in education, health, and environmental work.

Responsible stewardship

Organisational resources are used solely toward the society's aims and objects, consistent with its non-profit character.

Founder

Leadership anchored in service and field realities.

SALT was built to serve communities with seriousness, humility, and practical intent. The founder's role represents that continuing commitment: keep the organisation close to ground realities, open to collaboration, and disciplined about purpose.
