The world is failing girls. We won't.

Who are we?

We are Plan International UK, a global children’s charity advancing equality for girls and a just world for all. We stand fiercely beside girls as they demand the futures they deserve.

What do we do?

We rally people together to dismantle what holds girls back – through programmes, responding to emergencies, influencing decision makers and campaigning for change.

Where do we work?

Girls face inequality everywhere, but its impact is greatest where poverty, crisis and discrimination collide. That’s why we work in over 80 countries globally.

Nepal flash flood

A flash flood and landslide have devastated communities along the Nepal-China border. At least 350 people have been killed, and hundreds remain missing or unaccounted for, according to news reports.

The priority must be reaching those affected, supporting families searching for loved ones, and ensuring vulnerable communities have the assistance they need.

Plan International are working with local partner organisations to distribute shelter items, period products and hygiene kits. 

Donate to our Children's Emergency Fund and help us reach children affected by climate-related disasters and other emergencies.

Girls are stepping into classrooms, careers and opportunities previous generations could only dream of. But blink, and those gains could be gone.
