Our Story
It all started with a 7-year-old wish to become a police officer for a day. Chris’ wish was life-changing for him and those who helped to achieve it. It inspired the creation of Make-A-Wish as well. Founded in 1980, Make-A-Wish has been granting wishes to thousands of children battling critical illnesses globally.
We sincerely believe that with every granted wish comes hope and strength that anchor children going through such challenges.
And now, Make-A-Wish is expanding to a new chapter. Sharing the same calling, Make-A-Wish KSA lends a caring hand to children and families during their challenging journey. We witness their bravery, we are touched and transformed by their perseverance, and like millions of people in all quarters, we are inspired and humbled by their strength. Their journeys are an ongoing precious lesson on the power of joy, community impact, the marvels that imagination brings, and the light that hope sparks!
