The Foundation is dedicated to granting the most cherished wish of children between the ages of 3 and 18 years, living with life-threatening illnesses, irrespective of their socio economic status, caste, race or religion. It is a Registered Trust under Bombay Public Trust Act 1950. Each affiliate works within the framework of stringent international policies and guidelines. Make-A-Wish is the most preferred and highly rated charity with FOUR STAR rating by International Charity Navigator for 9 years in a row and thus we are a global brand and a pioneer in this effort. The Indian affiliate was established in 1996 and since then we have fulfilled over 28,000 wishes across 11 divisions in India. There are 11 divisions of the organization functioning in the country viz. Ahmedabad, Bangalore, Coimbatore, Chennai, Delhi, Goa, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai and Pune. Its head office is based in Mumbai, Maharashtra. On an average, we fulfill around 3,000 wishes per annum. Power of a Wish: For children battling life-threatening illnesses, the joysof childhood are replaced with a daily battle for survival, painful treatment, medication and endless rounds of hospitals. The fulfillment of the most cherished wish of a child, who has very little hope of enjoying a normal, healthy life not only gives happiness and joy to him/her but also has a therapeutic effect on the child. Doctors have often reported an improvement in the child’s physical condition, after the fulfillment of his / her dearest wish. A wish fulfillment makes a sick child believe that anything is possible – even the future. Typically children’s wishes fall into four categories: Wish to go… e.g. to a theme park, a sporting event, the beach, travel within India Wish to be… e.g. a policeman, a firefighter, a chef Wish to meet… e.g. a favorite Bollywood celebrity, TV artist, sports person or athlete Wish to have... e.g. cricket kit, remote control car, kitchen doll set, computer, mobile phone Volunteers: Each year, volunteers generously give their time, talent and energy to fulfill our mission in India. The need to reach out and identify the wish of every eligible child is far more and thus leads to our constant need for more volunteers.

Key highlight this year has been the 20th celebration of Make A Wish India which included the hosting of the wish leader conference. This involved a huge responsibility on Make A Wish India which was very efficiently handled by our CEO and his team. Make A Wish International expressed its gratitude to Make A Wish India by presenting us the certificate of appreciation (shown alongside). We can only succeed with support from likeminded people like you and we sincerely thank you for your unstinting support to our cause Yours truly Maneck Davar Founder & Managing Trustee From the Desk of the CEO Dear Well-wishers, Our 20th year celebration this year was surely an affair to remember. Team at Make A Wish India wanted all the preparations for the wish leader conference. The two exceed the expectation of the 125 delegates. The overall theme was ‘wish chemistry’ around this we planned various activities to ensure that all the international delegates get a fair understanding of the India art and culture. More details on the activities carried out are shared in this annual report. A part from the wish conference, granting of unique wishes like Rajalingam wished to be a naval officer were part of the 7318 wishes that got granted in this year. This also is the largest number of wishes granted by Make A Wish India in the last 20 years. We are pleased to share that the Ministry of Corporate Affairs finally granted its stamp of approval to Make A Wish India as a charity in the health category of section VII to grant under 2% CSR. As part of its 20th year celebration, Make A Wish India acknowledges the continued support from Jewelers from Children, Jewelers from Children has supported Make A Wish India with a generous grant every year that has helped us grant wishes of over 1250 children every year.
