The Organisation
Plan International is an independent development and

We believe in the power and potential of every child.

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.
