Company: Plan International
The Organization
Plan International is a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting children’s rights and gender equality. We recognize the inherent potential of every child, but we also acknowledge that this potential is often hindered by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination. It is girls who are particularly impacted by these challenges.
By working collaboratively with children, young people, supporters, and partners, we strive to create a more equitable world by addressing the root causes of the difficulties faced by girls and vulnerable children. We support children’s rights from the moment they are born until they transition into adulthood, and we empower them to navigate crises and overcome adversity. Through our extensive reach, experience, and knowledge, we advocate for changes in local, national, and global practices and policies.
For more than 85 years, we have united with like-minded individuals to transform the lives of children across over 80 countries.
Our commitment remains unwavering until true equality is achieved for all.
