Plan is an international, humanitarian, child-focussed development organisation with no religious, political or governmental affiliations. We work with children, their families and
Our aim is to achieve lasting improvements in the quality of life of deprived children in developing countries, through a process that unites people across cultures and add value to their lives. Our vision is to live in a world in which all children have the opportunity to realise their potential in societies, which respect people's rights and dignities.
2. Who benefits from Plan's work?
Plan is a global community focussed around the needs of children. Children are at the heart of all our work. Our projects support children, benefiting an estimated nine million children and their families through community projects.
When we work in a community our attention is focussed on the benefits to the children of that community. We look at what makes life healthy and fulfilling: health, education, an adequate standard of living and the right to survive and develop.
Our work makes tangible differences because we understand the communities we work with, and, in partnership with local organisations, we collaborate with them to identify their needs. Our active support for child development over a long period of time ensures the healthy development of children within a community from pre-natal health assistance, safe delivery, through pre-school care, primary and secondary education, to and adulthood in which they can realise their full potential.
