The Organisation
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation
that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the
power and potential of every child but know this is often suppressed by
poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is girls who are most
affected.
Working together with children, young people, supporters and partners, we
strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges girls and
vulnerable children face. We support children’s rights from birth until they
reach adulthood and we enable children to prepare for and respond to crises
and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and
global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge.
For over 85 years, we have rallied other determined optimists to transform the
lives of all children in more than 80 countries.
We won’t stop until we are all equal.
