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 this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. By championing childrens rights and equality for girls, we are creating a just world where everyone is equal. 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. We have been building partnerships for over 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.
