Back her to back herself

By sponsoring a girl and her community you create lasting change for generations.

Building an equal world for girls

Who are we?

We are Plan International UK, a global children’s charity striving for a fairer world. One where every girl can reach her full potential and choose her own future.

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.

Sudan - Children's Emergency Appeal

Children in Sudan urgently need help as the crisis around them deepens and hunger takes hold.

After 1,000 days of conflict, over 17.3 million children in Sudan are caught up in what is now the world’s worst humanitarian crisis. Displaced. Terrified. Starving.

Among them are millions of girls, especially vulnerable to harm.
