Mission
In 1993, Make-A-Wish International was officially formed as an affiliation of the five founding country associations who were already granting wishes. Make-A-Wish began in the USA in 1980 with the fulfillment of the first wish. Its mission is to create hope and happiness for children with life-threatening illnesses around the world. Since its inception, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has granted more than 187,000 wishes around the world, making it the largest wish-granting organization in the world. Currently, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has a presence in more than 30 countries on five continents.
