About the Organization
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization that advances children’s
rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child. But this is often suppressed
by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And its girls who are most affected. 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.
