About Plan International
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organization dedicated to advancing children’s rights and gender equality.

In collaboration with children, youth, supporters, and partners, we work towards a more equitable world by addressing the root causes of the challenges faced by girls and vulnerable children. Our focus extends from birth to adulthood, supporting children’s rights, preparing them for adversity, and driving positive change in local, national, and global policies.
