INTERNATIONAL PARTNERS
Magic Bus India
A bit about our partner:
Magic Bus was originally founded in 1999 under the umbrella of Childlink India Foundation, and is now a registered charity (registered charity no. 1099223). It works in partnership with other charitable organisations in India - which deliver life-essential support such as food, shelter and clothing in a complementary way, to address other essential development needs. Children living in such deprived conditions often go on to develop destructive habits and behavioural problems, have difficulty forming meaningful relationships, and struggle with education. Magic Bus India provides activity-based learning for children through sports development, outdoor learning, creative expression and work-based learning, tailored by age group.
