SALEM International is a non-denominational Christian non-profit welfare organisation, founded in 1957 by Gottfried Müller and a circle of friends in Stuttgart.

The name SALEM stems from the Hebrew ‘Shalom’, meaning ‘peace’. All of the SALEM projects are affiliated through the shared values of peace, helping those in need and respect for life.

In this sense SALEM is actively working in global hotspots to help people in difficult situations regardless of their beliefs or nationality.
