Make-A-Wish Foundation announced the resumption of its humanitarian efforts in Yemen by fulfilling the wishes of five children with cancer at Al Sadaqa Educational Hospital in Aden.
This initiative reflects the organisation’s unwavering commitment to its noble mission, despite ongoing challenges.
The fulfilled wishes included gifting the children the latest electronic devices they had long dreamed of, such as smartphones, iPads, and a smart TV, which brought moments of joy and alleviated the children’s suffering from their illness.
Hani Al Zubaidi, CEO of “Make-A-Wish” Foundation, expressed his profound happiness at returning to Yemen to fulfil these wishes.
He stated, “With every wish we achieve, we plant a new seed of hope in the hearts of children and their families. Over the past years, we have fulfilled 605 wishes in Yemen. Our return to fulfil more wishes is a testament to our firm belief that hope is not just a feeling but a healing force that revitalises spirits and illuminates the path to recovery, even in the darkest moments."
Al Zubaidi added, “In 2025, we renew our commitment to strengthening these noble humanitarian values and transforming community support into tangible realities which touch lives.”
He concluded, “We are proud to be the reason behind these smiles."
