"I got a card from my sponsor, he is a mechanic, and he likes football just like me."
Octavio, 12, Colombia
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 bacics, 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 surive 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.
