The Childhood Circle directly funds our Adolescent Programme, transforming the lives of India’s most disadvantaged adolescents between the ages of 11 and 18. Our unique approach uses sports and activities – the universal language of play – to develop crucial life skills and provide academic support. Sessions are delivered by our network of over 6,000 Community Leaders and local Youth Mentors, who work with the parents, teachers and influencers around each adolescent to create long-term change. Currently, 475,000 adolescents experience the life-changing magic of this programme every year.
We are launching an ambitious new strategy to embed this framework in curricula across India. By partnering with state governments and training teachers to deliver the programme, we will bring the hope and opportunity of Magic Bus to 2.5 million adolescents annually by 2027. The Childhood Circle plays a key role in this incredible mission to create a lasting, self-sustaining impact on millions of young lives.
Childhood Circle members pledge a minimum gift of £10,000 annually for three years, funding the Adolescent Programme across India.
