Magic Bus UK is proud to be taking part in the BBC Radio 4 Appeal!

On Sunday, the 19th of April at 7:54am and 9:25pm, and again on Thursday, the 23rd of April at 3:27pm, you can hear Nahida’s story live on BBC Radio 4. You can also listen to the appeal right now on the BBC Radio 4 Website.

Our appeal, presented by Magic Bus UK’s own Ruby Parmar, tells the story of Nahida, a young woman who grew up in the slums of Mumbai, where she faced hardship, gender discrimination, and no future to call her own. With Magic Bus’ help, Nahida found her voice, overcame the barriers before her, and followed her dream of playing football. Today, Nahida is a fully qualified football coach, in the Mumbai Women’s Super League. 

Because of Magic Bus, I learned to believe in myself, and football gave me a voice”

Nahida’s story is an inspiration, and she has become a role model within her community. But countless more young boys and girls just like Nahida are trapped in hardship. By donating just £30 to the Magic Bus UK BBC Radio 4 Appeal, you can help a young person like Nahida get the support they need to succeed on the journey from childhood to livelihood and break the cycle of hardship.
