Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances childrens 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 support childrens 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.
