Your sponsorship not only helps to implement projects such as building schools, training teachers and providing water so that children like Maria have a better education, but it also provides them with the tools and knowledge to help make improvements to their lives and achieve long-term, generational change.
In the world's poorest countries, millions of children live in desperate need of the very things we often take for granted - food, medicine, education and safe drinking water. Without these basics, they are often denied the chance they need to ever realise their full potential.
In some of the countries where Plan works, 1 in 5 children die before they even reach their fifth birthday. Those who survive often go hungry and have no chance of ever learning to read and write.
Sponsor a child with Plan for £12 per month and you can help change this.
