Humanity, solidarity, resilience, self-sufficiency

Balouo Salo is driven by the belief that every person has the right to dignity, health, education, and self-determination. Our mission is to promote humanitarian excellence by bringing concrete and sustainable solutions where they are most needed, in the world’s most vulnerable communities — places where no one else has looked.
We operate independently, listening to the real needs of the people and actively involving them at every stage of the projects to empower them, fostering self-sufficiency and self-determination.
Our core values are: solidarity, transparency, responsibility, social justice, and respect for human dignity. Every action is inspired by the desire to build a fairer and more inclusive future for all.

Our Mission

We tackle the most severe humanitarian emergencies in the world’s most fragile contexts, forgotten by the rest of the world, building concrete and sustainable solutions to improve quality of life and defend fundamental rights. Every intervention we undertake arises from listening to communities, grows through participation, and is realized to restore dignity, hope, and social justice.

We operate with a humanitarian approach founded on excellence, equity, and respect, valuing cultural identity and the aspirations of peoples, to transform aid into a shared journey toward a fairer future. We do all this with no purpose other than to contribute with humanity and solidarity to building a better world.

“There is something magical and extraordinary in all of this, because besides solving problems that have destroyed our families for centuries, they have united communities once divided. We were taught the power of solidarity.”
