Since the founding of Shalom Link Mission (SLM) in 2004 we have supported people in need by providing them with shelter and a place to sleep. SLM was then registered in 2015 as a company and have since then sent seven children to school with scholarships and helped many communities start businesses based on the life skills they had. Below are some of the projects we've done.
