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 this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination and it’s girls who are most affected.
• Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.
• 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.
• We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years and are now active in more than 70 countries.
