Plan International is an independent humanitarian and development organization (charitable/ non-profit/charitable - select the appropriate term for your key audience) that promotes children's rights and equality for girls.
We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often stifled by poverty , violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it is the girls who are the most affected.
Working with children, young people, our advocates and partners, we strive for a just world, addressing the causes of the barriers girls and all vulnerable children face .
We support the rights of children from birth to adulthood. And we empower children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. Through our reach, experience and knowledge, we promote changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels.
For more than 85 years, we have been building powerful partnerships for children and we are active in more than 75 countries.
