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 this is often suppressed by poverty, violence,
exclusion and discrimination. And it’s girls who are most affected.

and respond to – crises and adversity.

knowledge.
