Sponsorship Stories
In their own words, discover how the lives of sponsored children have been transformed, thanks to being part of Plan International's child sponsorship.
With the amazing commitment from our valued sponsors, we have been able to make a real difference to the communities of so many children.
Through sponsorship we've given children the support they needed to be their own agents of change. Sign up today and be part of the positive change we're making to boys' and girls' lives.

Messages from our sponsored girls
Girls and boys of all ages have been impacted through our sponsorship work around the world.
