MAGIC BUS

Magic Bus is an NGO working with children living in poverty to steer them towards a better life with better awareness, better life skills and better opportunities.

They do this through:  LEARNING, LEADING and EARNING.

Today the Magic Bus program is run in 10 states, reaching out to 250,000 children in India. Their aim is to reach a million by 2015. Matthew Spacie, MBE established Magic Bus in 1999, and has grown the organisation from volunteers conducting informal rugby sessions and one-off outdoor camps for disadvantaged children, into a premier organisation working in the area of mentoring less privileged children from childhood to livelihood. In 2007, Matthew was awarded an MBE for services to children in the Commonwealth.
