Magic Bus empowers children and young people in India to break poverty by taking them from childhood to livelihood.

**About Us**

Founded in 1999, Magic Bus India Foundation has emerged as one of India's top five NGOs in the field of education and skilling. With a nationwide presence, Magic Bus is equipping children’s and youth from underserved communities and societies with life and employability skills to thrive in a fast-paced world and be ready for the 21st century.

The India's National Education Policy 2020 emphasizes on children being equipped with higher order thinking skills and socio-emotional learning. According to World economic forum, critical thinking and problem-solving top the list of skills employers believe will grow in prominence in the next five years.

Our comprehensive approach, known as **Childhood to Livelihood**, guides individuals from a childhood fraught with challenges to a life enriched with meaningful livelihoods. We engage with the ecosystems of young people, including parents, peers, community members, and local institutions, to establish a robust support network for them. This is achieved through two key programmes: the **Adolescent Programme** and the **Livelihood Programme**.

- **Adolescent Programme –** The programme caters to children from **12 years** to **18 years** of age, equipping them with life skills to achieve school, life and work outcomes.
- **Livelihood Programme –** The programme caters to young people from **18 years** to **25 years** of age, enabling them with transferable life and employability skills and secure sustainable jobs and aspirational salaries.
- **Entrepreneurship Development Programme -** To empower women aged **25 years** above in peri-urban and rural areas, we offer **entrepreneurship development programme** to skill underserved women as entrepreneurs. We impart leadership and business skills to enable financial independence.

**Female Labour Force Participation (FLFPR)**

To contribute to national economic growth by boosting women's participation in the labour force, we place special emphasis on female involvement in all our programmes. This effort has resulted in achieving a participation rate of **52% on girl child** and **60% among women**.
