Magic Bus India Foundation (popularly known as Magic Bus) is one of the top five NGOs in the education and skilling space in India. Founded in Mumbai in 1999, we have grown into an organisation with a pan-India presence. Magic Bus works with young people living in poverty, taking them from a childhood full of challenges to a life with meaningful livelihoods. We work with young people’s ecosystems (parents, peers, community, and local institutions) to create a network of support for them. Through our programmes focused on life skills education, employability skilling and education enhancement, Magic Bus ensures.
• Adolescents’ complete secondary education
• Youth are equipped for gainful employment

Appeal

The proceeds from the Marathon will go towards supporting Magic Bus’ Adolescent and Livelihood Programmes to skill and empower young people to break out of poverty. To date, we have impacted over 1 million adolescents and placed over 2 lakh youth in jobs across 24 states and Union Territories of India.
The funds raised will help us achieve the following results:
• Equipping young people with life skills and employability skills.
• Ensuring adolescents complete secondary school.
• Ensuring youth have the right skills and access to rewarding employment opportunities.
• Ensuring families, schools, and communities understand and support each young person so they can achieve their full potential in education and later on, in employment.
