Plan works for children and their communities to help realise children’s rights. We work across a range of sectors, including education, health, child protection, child participation, economic security and water and sanitation.

Plan pioneered child sponsorship 75 years ago, and today over 100,000 people in the UK sponsor a child through us. Find out more about sponsoring a child with Plan UK
