What do we do?

To create a better world to be a girl we respond to emergencies, deliver community development programmes and campaign with young people on issues that matter to them.

Where do we work?

Girls all over the world face inequality. That’s why we work in 80 countries around the world in Africa, the Americas, Asia-Pacific and Europe.

Children face famine in Gaza.

Children in Gaza have already endured so much. Now they’re being starved to death.

A window to provide food and other life-saving aid is open. But we need your help to reach as many children as we can, while we can.

Do you want to make your mark in the world? 

Children – particularly girls – face many barriers to achieving their future goals. But they are barriers you can help dismantle by leaving a gift in your will.  

A gift in your will to Plan International UK can help children and young people learn valuable lessons that they'll carry with them into the future. Lessons in life skills, self-esteem and independence. 

Find out more about how you can leave a gift in your will.

Sponsor a child

When you sponsor a child your donations support a while community. Your donations help to provide what's needed for more children to thrive. Like access to water and healthcare and the chance to go to school.

You help build resilient communities that can support and protect children as they grow. Communities which prevent child marriage and encourage girls to stay in school – even in crisis.

Start your sponsorship journey today and help more girls like Len Sokha thrive.

Donate

Children deserve to grow up in a world where they are safe and have access to education. Your donations can provide clean water points, safe spaces where children fleeing disasters can find comfort, and lessons in gender equality to equip the next generation of changemakers. 

Together, with your donations, we can ensure children and young people get more of what they need to thrive right now.
