About Plan

Plan International are a community development organisation that enable families in the world's poorest countries to make lasting improvements to their lives. Whilst working in 49 developing countries across the globe, Plan International help transform lives in a powerful and uplifting way. By helping to teach and build for the future, vulnerable children around the world are given the chance to grow up to be become key members of their communities.

  • In the countries where Plan work, one out of five children die before the age of five, and the ones who survive often go hungry and have little chance of ever learning to read and write.

In the world's poorest countries, millions of children live in desperate need of the very things they should be able to take for granted - food, medicine, education and safe drinking water.

Without these basics, they are denied the chance they need to ever realise their potential. In some of the countries where Plan works, 1 in 5 children die before they even reach their fifth birthday. Those who survive can go hungry and have no chance of ever learning to read and write.

If you sponsor a child with Plan, you can change this.

Your Sponsorship Can Help

Your sponsorship can give children the opportunities they need to make the most of themselves - starting with the basics. Over time these children can become healthy and educated young people with the power to transform their communities.

With one in five children born in the poorest countries not living to see their 5th birthday, the work Plan International perform is vital to the survival of many. Funds raised through sponsorship and donations help to provide the essential food, water and medicine required to aid the children of the world's poorest areas. Thanks to your help, Plan International can continue to offer hope to children across the globe and make the possibility of a new life a reality.
