Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances children’s rights and equality for girls. We believe in the power and potential of every child.

Working together with children, young people, our supporters and partners, we strive for a just world, tackling the root causes of the challenges facing girls and all vulnerable children.

## 💼 Expérience
We support children’s rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for – and respond to – crises and adversity.
