How Gifts of Hope creates change

Gifts of Hope is Plan International Canada's ethical-giving catalogue. Canadians who choose to give Gifts of Hope are supporting real programs for children, families, and communities around the world.

The gifts in our catalogue help fund our work in areas such as education, health, child protection, and gender equality. They support things like learning materials, safer schools, access to health care, protection services, and programs that help girls know and claim their rights. Behind every gift is a practical way to support children as they learn, grow, and take part in decisions that affect their lives.

Creating opportunities for girls

When a girl can go to school, access health care, stay safe from violence, and participate in making decisions that affect her future, the benefits reach far beyond a single child.

A girl who can keep learning is more likely to build skills, earn income, support her family, and contribute to her community. When girls have equal opportunities, families and communities become stronger too.

That is why advancing girls' rights is central to Plan International Canada's work.
