Children are at the heart of everything we do.
Plan International works with communities to build schools, educate teachers, dig wells, open health clinics, provide vocational training, innovate to improve crop yields, provide loans to start small businesses, and much more.
Funds from child sponsorship, community sponsorship, project sponsorship, partnerships and grants, Gifts of Hope, and one-time donations, including emergency relief efforts, make it possible for us to do whatever is needed to create an environment where children, families and communities in the developing world can thrive.
On average, Plan International works with communities for 10 to 12 years before successfully phasing out. During that time, we help community members build the capacity and skills needed to grow their community for generations to come.
Children are at the heart of everything we do. Plan International is a child-centered community development organization. We work with children, their families, communities, other organizations and local governments to bring about positive change. When children and adults work together as part of the change process, it is more likely that programs will be successful and sustainable.
