Why Magic Bus is the best NGO in India

Magic Bus is one of the top NGOs in India, according to CSR Journal. This recognition comes at a time when Magic Bus has finished two decades of working on the effects of poverty in India on children and young people. Magic Bus is an education and skill development NGO that focuses on life skills education for both children and young people to ensure they complete school, delay their age at marriage and get into better jobs. Magic Bus ensures that the causes of gender inequality in India are overturned by educating the girl child. Our programmes, therefore, have a sharp gender focus. We also have a sustainable livelihoods framework that imparts life skills training for youth along with employability skills so that young people are much more resilient and have a stable job.

Children NGO in India for education

Magic Bus is an education NGO that believes in ensuring children do not drop out, are regular in schools and complete their education. As an organisation that has life skills education entrenched in its approach, we believe that child education in India is of prime importance to overcome the effects of poverty in India. We believe educating the girl child makes her more likely to have a career rather than being married off at an early age. Our programmes focus on gender equality - explained through equal participation and awareness of discrimination against girl child. When you sponsor a child on the Magic Bus programme, you give her the opportunity to become resilient and show greater self- efficacy.

The Magic Bus Journey: Supporting Childhood to Livelihood Programme

Founded by Matthew Spacie in 1999, Magic Bus equips children and young people in the age group of 12 to 18, with the skills and knowledge they need, to grow up and move out of poverty. This takes them from a childhood full of challenges to a life with meaningful livelihoods. Ever since its inception, Magic Bus has transformed the lives of over one million children and young people, helping them move out of poverty.

Magic Bus, an NGO for kids and young people, takes them on a journey from Childhood to Livelihood and out of poverty. By enabling children to complete secondary education, delay their age at marriage, and skilling young people to be in jobs, we are helping move a generation out of the self-perpetuating cycle of poverty.

Best NGO helping for Education, Jobs, Life & Livelihood Skills

Magic Bus is one of the best children NGOs in India. They have worked dedicatedly for the last twenty years, successfully completing their aim to bringing children from childhood to livelihood.

The Success Rate of Magic Bus

In the current year, 3,75,000 children are on this journey of moving out of poverty in 22 states and 80 districts of India.

There are now 5,500 young leaders, from the community who have been trained to mentor and deliver the activity-based sessions to children across 798 schools. Through 42 Livelihood centres across the country, 10,000 young people have been placed in jobs in the organised sector so far. Magic Bus also works in Nepal, Bangladesh and Myanmar.

We work with the support structures, that is, the parents, the community at large, and local institutions, to ensure results in the social, emotional and economic well-being of all young people, living in that particular area. Our approach mobilises the entire ecosystem, available to the child or young person, to create transformational change in their lives.

Magic Bus and Child Rights

In its attempt to help children and young people move out of poverty, Magic Bus work is underlined by the basic principles of Child Rights. Right to education, Right to play and recreation,

Right to be protected against discrimination and abuse are some of tenets that guide our work.
