How Your Money is Spent
With the help of amazing supporters like you, we’re working with children in some of the world’s poorest communities, to give every child the same chance in life.
Your gifts reach us in a number of different ways. While much of our income comes from supporters who sponsor a child, we also receive donations and grants, work with corporate partners, and benefit from long-term relationships with trusts and major donors.
Our income for the year to 30 June 2023 was £74.6 million. Of our expenditure, we used 87% to fund our programme activities around the world, including our emergency response work and longer-term development projects.
WHAT WE SPENT MONEY ON IN 2022/23
87% WAS SPENT ON CHARITABLE ACTIVITIES AND 13% WAS ON RAISING FUNDS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES. OF THE CHARITABLE SPEND:
*A social impact investment in a leading provider of high-quality, gender inclusive, social development services

'I'm earning money to support myself'
In Cambodia, Leam – who was married while she was just a teenager – is bringing up her daughter alone. Having left school young, she didn’t know how she’d be able to support her family. Then she joined a training scheme with Plan International and trained to become a tailor. Now she runs her own business from home.
“I'm earning a bit of money to support myself. And with a one-year-old daughter, it's an advantage to be able to work from home,” she says.
