The Wichtel Challenge is a nonprofit initiative that was originally launched in Austria in 2017 and has since expanded its activities to Germany, Switzerland, and Slovenia. Its aim is to support socially disadvantaged individuals by collecting their individual wishes and fulfilling them with the help of volunteers known as "Wichteln." The German division of the Wichtel Challenge is registered as a nonprofit association and is based in Düsseldorf. It has been officially registered in the association register since 2021. The Wichtel Challenge brings together the efforts of citizens in the four participating countries to improve the living conditions of needy people through a simple yet powerful gesture of kindness and solidarity.
History, Scope of Activities, and Use of Donations[edit]
The Wichtel Challenge is a social project that was launched in Austria in the autumn of 2017. Its goal is to make the unspoken wishes of people in need visible and fulfill them. Since then, it has successfully expanded its activities to Germany, Switzerland, and Slovenia. At the core of its work is the belief that every person should have the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of others. Through the provided platform, anyone can become a "Wichtel" and contribute to fulfilling the wishes of socially disadvantaged individuals.
The donation funds collected as part of the Wichtel Challenge are used entirely to fulfill the wishes and needs of needy people. They are used to acquire the necessary items or provide special experiences. The Wichtel Challenge works closely with social institutions, aid organizations, and partners to ensure that donations are effectively utilized and reach the places where they are most urgently needed. The Wichtel Challenge has made it a mission to fulfill all the listed gifts every year, which has been successfully achieved each year so far. In 2022, an impressive 10,484 wishes were fulfilled, underscoring the impact and dedication of the Wichtel Challenge.
Engagement and Events[edit]
The Wichtel Challenge is passionately committed to social causes. Actions such as selling Wichtel hats at Christmas markets raise awareness of their mission and collect donations. They are continually building new partnerships with companies like Infoscreen to spread their message. They are also promoted through radio, newspapers, and Instagram influencers. Despite these advancements, the Wichtel Challenge is constantly seeking new ways to expand its reach and influence.
Process and Implementation of the Wichtel Challenge[edit]
The Wichtel Challenge operates a Christmas-themed online platform. Here, social institutions anonymously enter the wishes of their clients, which are then made available on the platform for fulfillment. People who wish to share the spirit of Christmas can register as "Wichtel," choose one of these wishes, and commit to fulfilling it. Subsequently, the Wichtel receive the necessary information to securely send the gift to the respective social institution. Throughout the entire process, the anonymity of all participants is preserved. The Wichtel Challenge thus provides an opportunity to make the Christmas season a little brighter for everyone.
