We have a range of development and humanitarian projects in urgent need of funding, so if you’d like to explore giving a major gift of £10,000 or more, we’ll talk you through each stage - from choosing a project that meets your philanthropic interests, to receiving regular reports and updates about how your support is making a difference.

What our supporters say
'I like Plan because they think laterally about what affects women and girls globally. Their projects offer support in an imaginative way, such as teaching young people business skills or giving them seed funding to start a business. They’re a great example of “give a girl a fish and she eats for a day, teach her to fish and she eats for a lifetime”.'

'I have supported Plan UK since the 90s, starting by sponsoring a young boy in Ghana. I was so impressed with Plan’s work that we began funding the construction of classrooms in lower income countries. I take great pride in knowing that our efforts have empowered girls through education and strengthened entire communities for generations to come.'

What are our key areas of work?
Long-term development programmes
By running impactful programmes with children, their communities, and local partners, we are creating a future where every child has what they need to thrive - such as education, healthcare and clean water.
Pallabi participated in our Growing up Healthy in Bangladesh programme and said, "Before [the project], we didn't know or think about vegetables or their seasons. Now we are spreading this knowledge among our family members and neighbours."
With these techniques, families have a reliable source of nutritious food and can sell surplus crops to generate income.
We have a range of programmes in need of urgent funding, and you can be a part of them. To find out more, please contact us.
Humanitarian programmes
Emergencies, such as conflict and climate-related disasters, turn children’s lives upside down. Their school, their home and their safety net may all be gone, sometimes in an instant.
Right now, one in every four children is living in a country affected by conflict or disaster. They face risks including violence, exploitation, hunger, missing out on education, and girls are often the worst affected.
Together with communities, we’re responding to the most pressing emergencies. But we cannot do it without your support. To learn more about our current emergency responses, please get in touch.
The Education Fund
Girls' education matters. But around the world, barriers such as poverty and child marriage prevent girls from learning. Our Education Fund harnesses the power of collective philanthropy to break down barriers and help ensure all girls have access to a safe and quality education.
"It is better to educate a girl than to marry them, it will create more wealth in the future," says Tina, a participant of the Accessible Schools for Girls project in South Sudan - one of the programmes supported by the Education Fund.
By becoming a member, you will strengthen our industry-renowned education programming around the world. Read more about the Education Fund.
