Help forgotten children

Plan's Forgotten Children Initiative

Forgotten Children is Plan’s initiative to protect children from exploitation, abuse and neglect. We work with the most vulnerable and marginalised children, ensuring every child gets the childhood they deserve.

Please help forgotten children today with a donation or a regular monthly gift

Reaching the most vulnerable

Every child has the right to a life free from cruelty and suffering. The Forgotten Children initiative offers hope to the most isolated and vulnerable children, the ones living on the streets, at risk of trafficking and child labour, and those who are orphaned and disabled.

The Forgotten Children projects

Our Forgotten Children projects work with the most vulnerable children to provide a safe haven for them, campaign on their behalf, and to make sure they have an education and a future. We currently have projects in Bangladesh, Ecuador, El Salvador, India and the Philippines.

  • Bangladesh: Helping the street children of Dhaka
    This project in Dhaka, Bangladesh, is providing a safe haven for vulnerable youngsters who live and work on the streets. Drop-in and 'spot' centres have already transform the lives of over 6,000 children.
  • Ecuador: protecting children from violence
    This project involves the whole community in guaranteeing children’s rights in Ecuador. We have set up and trained special community councils, made up of adults and young people, to help children vulnerable to drugs, abuse and neglect.
  • El Salvador: Fighting to eradicate child labour
    This project will establish ten child care centres focused on creating access to formal education through scholarships, school materials and after school tuition and providing healthcare, vaccinations and nutrition.
  • India: Enriching children's lives in Mumbai's slums
    This project will take place in the Garib Nagar and Behrampada slums in Central Mumbai. It aims to address health, education, protection and water and sanitation in an integrated way.
  • The Philippines: Nourishing children
    This project works with the isolated and excluded ethnic group the Mangyans. Mangyan children are some of the most disadvantaged children in the Philippines. This project helps Mangyan families to grow larger amounts of diverse and nutritious food throughout the year.
