Childhood to Livelihood

For 20 years Magic Bus has been working with more than 1 million children and 35,000 young people living in the poorest communities of India. Through the Childhood To Livelihood approach , we show them a way to break-free from the vicious cycle of poverty.

You Ask How?

Magic Bus works with children by teaching them life skills that enable a successful transition from childhood full of challenges to meaningful livelihood. Life Skill Education consists of teamwork, problem-solving, learning to learn, managing self and communication which enables an individual to become resilient. Given below are the key components of the programme:

• Education Enhancement that improves their basic literacy, numeracy and their overall grades in school.

• Community Connect engages with parents, the whole community and ensures support to their children’s aspiration. This transforms not just a child but an entire community. Thus helping children to complete formal education without any disruption.

• Employability Skills Education includes spoken English, f inancial literacy, digital literacy and career counselling. This empowers an individual to find out their own strengths and weaknesses.

• Livelihood Connect involves sector specific training in Retail , IT , BFSI , E-Commerce . We connect trained individuals to demand of employers. Thus not only helping young people with placements but also assisting them with post-placements support.
