Magic Bus is an Indian non-profit working with children from marginalised communities. We work through a researched, activity-based curriculum we have designed, to bring about behaviour change. Using the medium of sport, our programmes work with children and communities towards gender equality, better education, health and livelihood opportunities.

Founded in 1999, Magic Bus is the first organisation in India to deliver high impact development programmes that use a sport-based curriculum for community development.

Currently we work with nearly 2,00,000 children and 6000 young adults from 7 States - Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Haryana, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Orissa, and Uttar Pradesh. These young adults are from the same communities where the programmes run. We build their competency in delivering the sports for development programme and in mentoring skills for the younger children.

By 2014, Magic Bus plans to reach 1 million children across some of India's poorest villages and neighbourhoods.
