Company: International Plan
Plan International is an independent non-profit Development and Humanitarian organization that promotes children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every girl and boy, but we know that they are often limited by poverty, violence, exclusion, and discrimination. And girls are the most affected.
In collaboration with girls, boys, youth, followers and partners, we fight for a just world, addressing the root causes of the problems faced by girls and boys in the most vulnerable situations. We support childhood from birth to adulthood and train them to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We promote change of practices and policies at the local, national and global levels thanks to our reach, experience and knowledge.
For over 85 years, we have brought together other determined optimists to transform the lives of all girls and boys in more than 80 countries.
We will not stop until we achieve equality.
