'''The City Walk''' is a guided tour around [[New Delhi Railway Station]] and [[Paharganj]] area in which former street children share their personal story of survival with the participants and show them the contact points and shelter homes [[Salaam Baalak Trust]] provides.<ref>[http://www.sawf.org/newedit/edit05222006/index.asp Indian Street Kids Offer Glimpse Into Their Lives With Guided Tours] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118181050/http://www.sawf.org/newedit/edit05222006/index.asp |date=2012-01-18 }} ''South Asian Women's Forum'', 22 May 2006.</ref><ref name=H1>[http://onedayitinerary.com/one-day-in-delhi-itinerary/ Runaway guides]''[[One Day Itinerary]]'', ''Travel Blog'', 6 April 2007. {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190213005628/http://onedayitinerary.com/one-day-in-delhi-itinerary/ |date=13 February 2019 }}</ref><ref>[http://www.telegraphindia.com/1070312/asp/nation/story_7505005.asp Discover a Delhi underbelly you never knew, through the eyes of child guides] ''[[The Telegraph (Kolkata)|The Telegraph]]'', 12 March 2007.</ref>

[[Salaam Baalak Trust]] (SBT), a [[non-profit organisation]], has been running the walk for about four years now, taking care of present and former street children in Delhi. Through this programme, the young guides, who are former children of the Trust, get an opportunity to improve their [[communication]] and [[marketing]] skills independently. ''The Walk'' aims to sensitise people to the lives of street children and helps to provide a deeper insight about street life from people who have experienced it themselves.<ref name="Sustainable Tourism">[http://www.matadortravel.com/travel-writing/india/sustainability/side-by-side-with-street-children-in-delhi-profile-of-the-salaam/ Sustainable Tourism]</ref>

During 2012-13, the City Walk programme also received some significant media coverage by the [[BBC]] World, ''[[The Hindu]], [[Hindustan Times]]'' and prominent German and Italian newspapers. With help from volunteers, BBT has developed new City Walk Trailers, which give a good first impression about the Walk.<ref name="Annual Report, Salaam Baalak Trust">[http://www.salaambaalaktrust.com/pdf/SBT_annual_report_2012-13.pdf Annual Report, Salaam Baalak Trust]</ref>

All proceeds go directly to the trust to enable more opportunities to be made for street children. The walk does not make a profit.<ref name= "SBT homepage">[http://www.salaambaalaktrust.com SBT Homepage]</ref>
