Education is power. Pass it on.
Around the world, children – and particularly girls – face many barriers to achieving their future goals. Barriers to education, to work, to self-confidence.
But they are barriers you can help dismantle for future generations with a gift in your will.
What is a gift in will?
What is a gift in will?
A gift in your will (or sometimes known as a legacy) is a way of giving a gift to family, friends and organisations you care about after you die.
You can give a sum of money, a percentage of your estate or your personal belongings.
Some of our wonderful supporters very kindly include a gift to Plan International UK in their will to continue the support they showed in their lifetime.

A legacy of learning
Learning never has to stop. Ikilimah, 33, from Ghana can attest to that. She was forced to marry at 16 when her parents could no longer afford her education. Now she’s turning her life around:
“I did not want my children to be school dropouts like myself. I decided to look for a way to earn an income otherwise my family would never rise from this poverty.
“From a young age, I knew I wanted to work with my hands. When my brother mentioned training in construction, I decided to give it a try.”
Ikilimah enrolled in a skills training project with the support of Plan International. She is now the only female excavator operator working in her region.
A gift in your will can help inspire the next generation to seize new opportunities like Ikilimah and achieve their dreams.
Meet Lisbeth
“A hungry child can’t concentrate on learning. A worried child can’t concentrate on learning.”
As a former teacher, Lisbeth knows the power of a good education, which is why she’s choosing to support Plan International UK by leaving a gift in her will.
If you believe that education is power – help pass it on with a gift in your will and unlock life-changing opportunities for children around the world.
