Who We Are
Founded in 1999, Magic Bus is a Section 25 Not-for-Profit Company registered in Mumbai, India. With our unique Sport for Development (S4D) programme, we work towards empowering children and youth in areas of Education, Gender, Health, Leadership and Livelihood, promoting the concept of Right to Play. We are proud to be making a ‘Change through Sport’ using our dynamic 5-pillar approach – which includes Participation for All, Mentoring, Fun with Responsibility, Safety and Experiential Learning – in the delivery of our programmes.
The first rides aboard Magic Bus were confined to the Mumbai city, which eventually provided for immense scope of experiment in the beginning. In 2008, we took the experience from the Mumbai City Programme to other parts of India. In the next two years, Magic Bus reached out to over 150,000 marginalized children across the country. This successful translation gave us immense confidence, which was manifested with launch of the National Programme.
The National Programme sets the Magic Bus journey to a new level. With Mission One Million, we have envisioned a growth plan of reaching out to 1,000,000 children and youth in 10 states of India, through over 2500 staff and 30000 volunteers by 2014. Towards this, Magic Bus is currently working in the states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Orissa and Karnataka.
We also run an Outdoor Programme at the
Magic Bus Centre for Learning and Development.
