Children's Wishes Project

Wishes of kids

Together we make small wishes feel big.

Some children grow up with worries that are much bigger than they are. Fleeing from war and leaving everything behind, growing up in poverty, or having to care for a parent. We believe that especially in those moments, a small light can make a big difference.

Children's Wishes

Within Make A Kid Happy we have created the Children's Wishes Project. We fulfil wishes of children who are facing financial or social hardship. Not luxury, but something that truly matters to that child: a gift, a day out, or an experience they will never forget.

Collaborations

We work together with municipalities, counsellors, other organisations and volunteers to turn wishes into reality. Every fulfilled wish gives a child not just a smile for one day, but also a feeling that lasts.

I am seen. I matter.

That is what a fulfilled wish leaves behind, long after the day itself. Because every child deserves to feel special.

Wil jij helpen om Maha's wens werkelijkheid te maken?

Maha en haar moeder zijn gevlucht uit Syrië en bouwen hier stap voor stap een nieuw leven op. Maha is een vrolijk en dromerig meisje dat graag danst en zich helemaal kan verliezen in muziek.

More wishes are on their way

A wish appears here as soon as a municipality, counsellor or partner brings one to us and we know what it takes to make it happen.

Wishes we fulfilled

Every fulfilled wish starts with a child who dares to dream out loud.

Architect for a day

Driss dreams of becoming an architect.

So we arranged a day on a real construction site. In a hard hat and safety vest he joined the team on site, saw the cranes up close and got a first taste of the job he dreams of.
