Our History
The Salt Street Foundation was founded in March 2005 by a group of
volunteers, directed by Jamer Chamberlain, M.D. upon his return from a
tsunami related relief work in India. Salt Street is the local name for a very
small village he visited called Poovanthoppu. The name comes from the way
the local people make their living, hard labor harvesting salt for less than a dollar a day. Through the assistance of the Catholic Health Association of India (CHAI), the Salt Street Foundation has committed to helping this village return
to self sufficiency as its initial program. This three year project is focused on helping Poovanthoppu rebuild the basic necessities and infrastructure that we sometimes take for granted.
