How we work

Plan is a global children’s charity. We work with the world’s poorest children so they can move themselves from a life of poverty to a future with opportunity. 

Plan's activities are guided by the principals of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child and other internationally-recognised human rights treaties, and is informed by the local context and knowledge of the country and region.

  • Our community-led child-centred approach means that our work is tailored to local needs. To find the best answers to the problems children face, we listen to the experts – the children and young people themselves.
  • The majority of our income is from child sponsorship. We also receive donations and grants.
  • At least 80p in every pound donated is spent on supporting and delivering our development work.
  • We’re accountable first and foremost to the children and communities we work with, and to the sponsors and donors who make that work possible. It’s very important to us that everything we do is open and honest.
  • Our programmes are designed in collaboration with children and communities, and we measure both results and their satisfaction. We regularly monitor and evaluate our projects to make sure they are meeting children’s needs.
