About Plan International
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child, but recognise that poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination often suppress this potential, with girls being most affected.

With more than 85 years of experience in over 80 countries, we continue to drive sustainable change at local, national, and global levels. We won’t stop until we are all equal.
