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 adapt our work to respond to crises and adversity and support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood.

For over 85 years, we have mobilised partners to transform the lives of children in more than 80 countries. We won’t stop until we are all equal.
