When Amin Sheikh opened the Bombay to Barcelona Library Café in 2016, the idea wasn't just to serve food. It was to become the backbone of a community. Run entirely by street children, the unique restaurant in Marol was the embodiment of Sheikh's own childhood struggles.

While it provided employment to a handful of teenagers, it also helped cater to their daily needs, such as living and education costs. Over the years, it enabled Sheikh to participate in other charitable programmes, like the afternoon tradition of offering hot chocolate and cookies to home-bound kids from a nearby government school.
