About Plan International

Plan International strives to advance children’s rights and equality for girls all over the world. As an independent development and humanitarian organisation, we work alongside children, young people, our supporters and partners to tackle the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children. We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood and enable children to prepare for and respond to crises and adversity. We drive changes in practice and policy at local, national and global levels using our reach, experience and knowledge. For over 80 years we have been building powerful partnerships for children, and we are active in over 75 countries.

Background

Plan International’s child sponsorship model takes a community-based approach. We establish meaningful relationships with sponsored children and their families, and commit to long-term interventions in their communities. Children from vulnerable families and marginalised communities are targeted in particular. Through their interaction with the sponsors and with Plan International, the children and their communities can access a holistic package of sponsorship activities, communications and development interventions over an extended period of years. A child is typically sponsored until she or he becomes 18 years old.
