Our mission
We fulfill the dearest wishes of children suffering from a serious illness, which often requires heavy and lengthy treatment, as well as those who suffer trauma following an accident.
Our vision
Our vision is to be able to help all children living with a serious medical condition by making their most cherished wishes come true.
We are working to improve visibility within hospitals and with the general public to be able to inform all these children and their families that we are there for them.
Our impact
At Make-A-Wish, we provide children and their families with the hope, courage and happiness they need during difficult times.
Through our actions, we bring them precious moments of joy and lasting memories that will remain engraved in their memory.
These positive experiences not only comfort the entire family, but they also play an important role in improving children's well-being and healing.
Our work truly makes a difference in their lives, providing much-needed support during these 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 entirely on the private sector.
It is an added value to work in collaboration with other Make-A-Wish organizations, because we can help each other among affiliates of the network, especially when the child's wish takes place in another country.
Partnerships have also been concluded at a global level, from which we have been able to benefit.
Our great strength is being able to devote our resources to our core mission, because we have the privilege of having partners who sometimes offer us all or part of their services.
Likewise, we are honored to have so many volunteers who help us carry out our activities.
