Our mission
We fulfill the most heartfelt wishes of children suffering from a serious illness, which often requires lengthy treatment, as well as those who have suffered trauma as a result of an accident.
In this way, we give these children and their families the hope, courage, and happiness they need.
These are breaths of fresh air, moments of joy for the whole family, memories, and positive emotions that will stay with them in their memories.
In this way, our work impacts the well-being of these children and contributes to their healing.
Our vision
Our vision is to be able to help all children who have to live with a serious medical their most heartfelt wishes.
We’re working to raise our profile in hospitals and with the general public to let all these children and their families know that we’re there for them.
Our impact
At Make-A-Wish, we provide children and their families with the hope, courage, and happiness they need during challenging times.
Through our efforts, we offer them precious moments of joy and lasting memories that will remain with them for a lifetime.
These positive experiences not only uplift the entire family but also play a significant role in enhancing the well-being and recovery of the children.
Our work truly makes a difference in their lives, offering much-needed support during difficult times.
Our added value
We are a Swiss foundation, but part of an international network.
Outside the United Nations system, we are the largest international charitable foundation in the world, which depends exclusively on the private sector.
Working in cooperation with other Make-A-Wish organizations is an added value, because we can help each other as members of the network, especially when a child’s wish is granted in another country.
Global partnerships have also been created, from which we have benefited.
Our great strength is that we can devote our resources to our core mission, because we are privileged to have partners who sometimes offer us all or part of their services.
We are also honored to have so many volunteers who help us carry out our activities.
