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.
