Young women and girls make up almost a quarter of the world’s population. They have the same rights as their brothers. Yet too often they remain at the bottom of the social ladder.
But it doesn’t have to be like this. Plan has worked with young girls for 70 years and believes all children should have the opportunity to reach their full potential. Over a million people around the world champion the rights of both girls and boys by sponsoring a child with Plan. They make it possible for children across Africa, Asia and South America to get the safe water, food, health care and education they deserve.
We know that girls can improve their lives and bring about change in their community and society in general – but only if they are given the chance.
You can help break the cycle of discrimination and maltreatment by sponsoring a girl with Plan. You can help a child believe in a future defined by her skills and ambitions, not her sex.
