The Organisation
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. Plan International believes in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected. Working together with children, young people, its supporters and partners, Plan International strives for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. Plan International supports children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And Plan International enables children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity. Plan International drives changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using its reach, experience and knowledge. Plan International has been building powerful partnerships for children for over 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.
