Plan International is a humanitarian and independent development organization dedicated to promoting children’s rights and gender equality. We firmly believe in the potential of every child, which is often hindered by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination, with girls being the most affected.
In collaboration with children, youth, supporters, and partners, we work towards creating a just world by addressing the root causes of challenges faced by women and vulnerable children. Our commitment extends from supporting children’s rights from birth to adulthood to enabling them to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national, and global levels, leveraging our reach, expertise, and knowledge.
With a legacy of over 85 years, we have built powerful partnerships for children and are currently active in more than 80 countries.
