Building an equal world for girls

Plan International is a global children’s charity striving for a fairer world. One where every child can reach their full potential and every girl can choose her own future.    

We bring people together to protect children’s rights and keep girls safe, in school and in control of their bodies – even when disaster strikes.   

We won’t stop until we are all equal.

Become a sponsor

When you sponsor a girl, your donations help to provide what's needed for more girls to thrive. Like access to water and healthcare and the chance to go to school.

You also help build resilient communities that can support and protect girls 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 Immaculate thrive.

All girls deserve an education

Globally, 40% of girls don't finish secondary school.  Poverty, conflict and discrimination hold girls back.

But you can help girls take a seat in the classroom - and stay there.

This winter, help girls defy the odds and finish school.
