Asante on her way to school

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.

Ways to get involved

Donate to help girls stay in school

Today, millions of girls will miss out on learning for one simple reason: they’re on their period.

Harmful attitudes are leaving girls with no safe or dignified way to manage their periods at school – forcing them to stay home. 

A few missed days a month can quickly become weeks of lost learning. When girls are pushed out of education, the consequences can last a lifetime. 

A period should never decide a girl’s future. This winter, help give girls the products, facilities and support they need to stay in school and keep learning. Please donate today.
