About Us
Magician Foundation India (MFI) began with a simple but powerful dream: to give children from low-income communities, in the slums of Mumbai, the chance to play, learn, and believe in a brighter future. In 2004, a group of young likeminded volunteers came together to teach rugby to children in their own neighbourhoods. For children growing up in narrow lanes with limited opportunities, the idea of a different tomorrow felt out of reach. Through the joy of sport, we opened a window to hope and started with rugby lessons, but we didn’t stop there. We nurtured life skills, encouraged education, and created safe spaces for children to dream beyond their circumstances.
Magician Foundation India empowers children from low-income communities with life skills and motivation to complete their education, break the cycle of intergenerational poverty, and build self-sustainable futures. We train children in the sport of rugby, creating pathways for them to participate in local, national, and international tournaments while building resilience, employability, and the confidence to dream big.
We envision a future where every child in low-income communities achieves better learning outcomes and becomes self-sustainable through access to education, sport, and income-earning opportunities.
At Magician Foundation India, we are committed to uplifting disadvantaged youth, including children, adolescents, and girls, by nurturing their health, education, and emotional well-being through the transformative power of sport. Our work is deeply rooted within schools and community centres across India’s urban, semi-urban, and rural regions. Using a scalable, community-driven model, we leverage sport as a powerful tool to enhance physical fitness, improve learning outcomes, and build confidence in young lives—creating a ripple of lasting change.
- We are based in Mumbai, India, where we empower a new generation of young lives. What began as a simple yet profound journey over a decade ago has become a beacon of hope for several hundred children from underserved communities. Today, these former “street children” have come full circle, establishing The Magicians Foundation to empower a new generation of young lives.
- Since its inspection, The Magicians Foundation has impacted the lives of over, 10,000 children. We have been able to highlight the transformative power of sport, enabling individuals to discover and nurture the talents they possess. Many of these children have embraced rugby professionally, representing their cities, states and even their country on international platforms. This remarkable journey from local ground to global stands as a testament to the Foundation’s dedication to unlocking potential and fostering resilience. Despite the professional achievements the Foundation has allowed the youths a deep sense of responsibility and community. Through its work, The Magicians Foundation has demonstrated how sport can be a powerful catalyst for personal and social change, building resilience, fostering independence and creating opportunities for children to rise above their circumstances.

Awesome Feedback
We were looking to support organizations that go beyond just teaching rugby—and Magician does exactly that. Through their Rugby‑For‑Values and Champion projects, they instill life lessons like discipline, respect, and teamwork. Seeing 900+ adolescents train regularly and travel for national-level tournaments is proof that our support isn’t just funding wins—it’s changing lives.

When we contributed to Magician’s Rugby‑For‑Values programme in Mumbai slums, we didn’t expect such profound ripple effects. These kids improve in school, learn self-confidence, and many go on to mentor others. It’s a powerful multiplier effect—our donation becomes community upliftment.
Rajiv Mehta
I was deeply moved to read about children training in five under-resourced communities and competing at the national and Olympic levels. Magician’s transparent allocation—covering coaching, nutrition, uniforms, and travel—gave me confidence. Our month-by-month updates show exactly how our support translates into real opportunities.
Lena Kapoor
Magician trained hundreds of adolescents, who’ve learned not just rugby, but teamwork, resilience, and leadership. Many now act as community mentors themselves. That ripple effect—from beneficiary to leader—is why I continue to support them.
