What is Hope Gala?


The gala, held at the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park, London, served as a platform for supporting the Salaam Bombay Foundation's initiatives, which focus on empowering vulnerable children in Mumbai through various educational programs. These programs aim to enhance their skills, boost confidence, and promote school attendance among disadvantaged youth.


Salaam Bombay, the chosen charity for the event, runs after-school academies and in-school programs designed to provide leadership training and skill development opportunities for “at-risk” children in Mumbai.
