Empowering Communities: Cleartrip Teams Up with Magician Foundation India for Nurturing Children

Sports stand out as a colorful thread in the busy fabric of a child's life, tying together a variety of priceless lessons and experiences. Sports have a significant impact on a child's physical, mental, and emotional well-being in addition to the thrill of competition and the joy of play.

This primer explores the significant impact of sports during a child's formative years, shedding light on how this dynamic environment cultivates traits that extend far beyond the playing field or court.

Cleartrip— The Leader in Online Travel Solutions

People's lives are now more comfortable and secure in terms of trip planning owing to the disruption of the traditional travel business. The new booking trend has introduced transparency to the traveler's options, from flights to hotels to experiences, not only in terms of secure booking confirmation but also in terms of cost-effectiveness and efficiency in the fast-paced world of today. 

With their various business methods, a number of businesses from all over the world have attempted over the years to provide passengers with suitable services. However, Cleartrip has established a new standard for online travel booking and has cemented its place as one of the very few prosperous companies.

Corporations are becoming more aware of their significant impact on influencing not only economies but also societies at large in the hive of modern business. One of these ethical businesses is Cleartrip, a well-known brand in the Internet travel and tourist industry. 

Beyond their commercial endeavors, Cleartrip has created a web of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs that show a steadfast commitment to the advancement of the areas they have an impact on. Their varied approach to CSR provides a striking image of a corporation that believes in the ability of responsible businesses to spur positive change, from educational empowerment to environmental sustainability. 

Cleartrip Collaborates with the Magician Foundation

The largest online travel and leisure activities company, Cleartrip, has built a reputation for providing seamless and cutting-edge travel solutions in India and overseas. Cleartrip also stands out as a socially responsible organization. 

As a part of their most recent CSR activity, Cleartrip partnered with the Magician Foundation India, a non-profit organization that works with kids and youngsters utilizing rugby to empower kids from disadvantaged homes (especially from the slums of Mumbai) as well as promote rugby as a sport in India.

The effort, which started with the simple idea of introducing rugby as a form of empowerment, skill-building, and community cohesiveness, was born out of a desire to better the community. In order to develop a new generation of rugby players, Cleartrip collaborated with local coaches and sports fans, utilizing their knowledge and skills. With children and young adults from Dharavi embracing the sport with unabashed excitement, what began as cautious steps on the field quickly developed into a vibrant program.

The charity works to safeguard kids from developing antisocial tendencies by teaching them life skills and raising them to be valuable members of society.  After five years of work, these gifted slum dwellers have developed to the point where they can contribute to the development of our country and have qualified for a national rugby competition.

Impact of Magic

The thriving community of Dharavi, which is frequently referred to as Asia's largest slum, has aspirations as big as the city that shelters it. But these aspirations have long been thwarted by structural issues. Here is where Cleartrip's rugby revolution comes into play, demonstrating their conviction that sport has the ability to spur change even in the most unexpected of settings.

The team that has been selected for the All India and South Asia Rugby - National Division 1 Tournament 2017, which continued from October 7 to October 14, is supported by Cleartrip under the association. Many poor children now have access to school, hope, and opportunities because of Magician Foundation India. 

When a group of enthusiastic teenage volunteers began instructing other local kids in rugby in 2004, the concept for Magician Foundation India first emerged. Today, they have a special rugby program where they instruct young boys and girls living in slums in different Mumbai neighborhoods in rugby. The boys' and girls' teams have taken part in numerous national rugby competitions, and some of the more seasoned players have gone on to compete in international competitions as well. 

Being selected for the national competition is a proud milestone for the Foundation and allows the team the chance to compete against teams like the CRPF, Bombay Gymkhana, and Maharashtra State Police. The Foundation is pleased to work in partnership with Cleartrip on this project and will keep working toward its objective of transforming the Mumbai slums into a place of opportunity and social transformation for different demographics.

Many poor children now have access to school, hope, and opportunities because of the Magician Foundation India. Young Indians who participate in sports have a tremendous opportunity to succeed professionally and financially, as the Foundation has demonstrated through its activities. It connects, empowers, and has the potential to improve underprivileged areas.

Way Forward

The rugby effort by Cleartrip in Dharavi serves as a moving reminder of the transformative power of athletics. It demonstrates the company's dedication to supporting local, as well as global, journeys for people, families, and communities.

Their varied approach to CSR provides a striking image of a corporation that believes in the ability of responsible businesses to spur positive change, from educational empowerment to environmental sustainability. 

The promise of a better future, one in which potential knows no limitations, is worn by the children of Dharavi as they don their rugby shirts. A simple ball and a common passion can spark transformation, as demonstrated by Cleartrip's rugby revolution in Dharavi, demonstrating that sometimes all it takes is a small spark to ignite possibility in a society.
