The Premier League will be a primary funding partner for the children's charity Magic Bus for the next three years.
A commitment of over £584,000 has been made by the Premier League, which will enable Magic Bus to deliver its programme to four districts in Delhi and Andhra Pradesh, reaching approximately 80,000 children by 2011 and continuing thereafter.
The Premier League has already been a major supporter of Magic Bus, having assisted them in developing their work in Mumbai over the past three years. Magic Bus uses the power of football to bridge social divides and release the potential of children living in poverty in many parts of India.
Local young people are trained as mentors to run 'Sport for Development' sessions, which helps bring many positive changes in the children, the Mentors themselves and the community as a whole.
