About this project

Lea Bell from Wunschwurm e.V. is responsible for this project
Just as a worm crisscrosses several layers of earth, the “Wunschwurm“ (wish worm) also wants to make its way through the most diverse social strata. Its goal is to support those who are in need and in difficult social situations.

The concept works in such a way that we set up analog wish boxes in social institutions in Mainz, into which the respective clients can insert wish lists. These are then photographed by the facilities, digitized by uploading them to the “Wunschwurm“ platform, and appear on the website www.wunschwurm.de/wishes. This is where our "wish catalog" is located, in which countless wishes are listed and which can then be fulfilled by clicking on the "Hab ich!" (Got it!) button. The process is fully automated thanks to the platform.

Unlike other platforms that support the exchange of materials, such as ebay classifieds, Wunschwurm enables people in difficult social situations to wish for something they can really use without any digital means and despite their lack of mobility. With their personal touch, the wish lists also help to create an emotional bridge between the wisher and the donor, without invading the privacy of the latter.

So what is special about the Wunschwurm project? It connects people with each other. With the help of its hybrid approach consisting of an analog wish box and a digital solution, it makes donations more transparent, emotional and personal.
