ABOUT
At Wings and Wishes, we are dedicated to transporting critically and chronically ill children to receive the lifesaving specialist medical care that they require.
Our objective is to provide transport for children, who are deemed financially less fortunate, to receive life-saving and/or specialised medical treatment which they require – anywhere in South Africa.
In addition, we provide compassionate and professional assistance to these children and their families, ensuring they have immediate access to the essential medical services which they need, and which are not available to them at a local level.

Without our loyal benefactors, we could not continue to assist children who need critical and emergency care.
Thank you to the benefactors who have made the journey, thus far, possible:
