Plan International
is an independent, non-profit development and humanitarian organization that promotes children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child, but we know that these are often limited by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination. And girls are the most affected.
In collaboration with children, young people, supporters, and partners, we fight for a just world by addressing the root causes of the problems faced by the most vulnerable children. We support children from birth to adulthood and empower them to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive change in practices and policies at the local, national, and global levels thanks to our reach, experience, and knowledge.
For more than 85 years, we have brought together other determined optimists to transform the lives of all girls and boys in more than 80 countries.
We will not stop until equality is achieved!
