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, education, health and livelihood opportunities.
To boost sports in the country, it has to be first supported at the very grass roots.
We often tend to ignore the accessories surplus to our requirement, not knowing
that even the least of contributions can make tremendous contributions to a child’s
life. We call upon the people to donate sports accessories for children whose aspirations
are suppressed by economic constraints.
