Plan International

Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children's rights and equality for girls. Founded in 1937, Plan International works in more than 80 countries globally, partnering with local communities to disrupt the cycle of poverty and ensure that all children have the opportunity to thrive. The organisation focuses on the critical role that education, health care, and protection play in achieving sustainable development for children, with a special emphasis on empowering girls. Through its comprehensive programs, Plan International actively supports children from birth to adulthood, aiming to foster a just world where children can flourish free from discrimination and violence.

Over the past year, Plan International has reached over 43 million children through impactful programmes and partnerships, providing significant resources to ensure equality and support in various humanitarian crises. The organisation engages with children, donors, policymakers, and local communities to influence change both on the ground and at a policy level. This multifaceted approach addresses the root causes of challenges faced by vulnerable children and allows for a response that is informed by the needs and aspirations of young people themselves. Plan International is committed to advocating for children’s rights and strives to be a leading voice for youth empowerment worldwide.
