A future where the poorest societies in the world have access to health, education, and opportunity to thrive.

Make a practical and lasting difference to the lives of those living in deprived areas worldwide. We do this through volunteering, education, health, and community development projects.

From London to Mumbai, SlumAid was born from a desire to create change for those struggling against the tide of poverty, found in such concentration within India’s slums.

SlumAid’s first volunteers were struck by a surprising truth when visiting some of India’s poorest communities. Children as young as five were learning how to make less than a penny in street crime, begging and litter-picking; when every passing second could be spent learning how to lift themselves from the cycle of destitution – through quality education.

SlumAid wanted to help break this cycle, by building a community of the young – and young at heart – driven to make a difference through volunteering. Over a decade and hundreds of helping hands later, SlumAid supports volunteers as they stay and work with local partner NGOs to make worthy contributions to their projects and establishing long-lasting relations.
