Magic Bus India Foundation marks its 25th anniversary, celebrating the transformative impact on education, skills and livelihoods for marginalised youth
Magic Bus India Foundation, a non-profit organisation in the education and skilling space, commemorated its 25th Foundation Day.
“At Magic Bus, we believe in the power of providing agency and opportunity to break the cycle of poverty and create lasting change”, Matthew Spacie, Founder, Magic Bus India Foundation, said.
“As we commemorate 25 years of work, we reflect on the millions of lives transformed but we recognise there is much more to do. We remain committed to empowering the next generation of leaders, innovators and change-makers, igniting a brighter future for all”, Matthew Spacie, added.
“Aligned with Viksit Bharat’s vision for a developed India by 2047, our dedication extends to preparing the youth for pivotal roles in nation-building and encouraging increased participation of women in education and the workforce, essential for sustainable development and inclusive growth. Reflecting on our journey thus far, we reaffirm our mission to empower young people towards leading fulfilling lives and contributing to their communities”, Jayant Rastogi, Global CEO, Magic Bus India Foundation, said.
2023 has been a landmark year for Magic Bus India Foundation, marked by a plethora of achievements spanning its programmes, technology and innovation. Magic Bus signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with six state governments to implement life skills education in government schools. Another MoU was established with the Management & Entrepreneurship and Professional Skills Council (MEPSC) to empower youth from marginalised communities through Skilling and Livelihood Programmes. The organisation elevated its operations by seamlessly integrating a pioneering initiative in the NGO sector—the Fraud Prevention and Detection (FPD) team for programme monitoring, the Partner Connect Portal to provide funders with real-time insights into their funding, and introduced Future X, an AI-based platform mapping the end-to-end lifecycle management of individuals in their programme.
The 25th-anniversary celebrations brought together over 3,000 employees and their families to commemorate the special occasion. Employees from all regions engaged in various sports and games, with equal participation of both male and female employees.
