Beschreibung
The OrganisationPlan 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. But this is often suppressed by poverty, violence, exclusion and discrimination. And it's girls who are most affected.
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.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.
At Plan International we have set ourselves an ambitious goal to transform the lives of 100 million girls over five years.
We are working with local communities in more than 50 countries to ensure all children enjoy the rights to which they are entitled.
Given that girls are often the most vulnerable, we place a special focus on tackling the challenges they face - such as ending child marriage, keeping them in school, and helping them to speak up for themselves.
To transform lives, cultures, and societies, we need to be a dynamic and agile organisation that can deliver real change.
Our five-year Global Strategy challenges us to transform how we work.

This means that we have particular responsibilities to children that we come into contact with and we must not contribute in any way to harming or placing children at risk.
