SALEM – working worldwide for peace

People of different nations, colours, religions and origins are working together in our projects - and it works!

Planting and looking after trees has always been one of the important matters of Gottfried Müller, the founder of SALEM (1914 – 2009). This is why the planting project “100 trees plus x“ was established some years ago in SALEM-Togo.
