Plan
International is changing. We are responding to shifts in international
development and humanitarian response to ensure we make a stand for all
children’s rights, through a focus on girls and other disadvantaged
children. As Plan International embarks on this ambitious and exciting
process across our 70+ offices worldwide, we are introducing a number of
new roles within the organisation.
Plan International
is an independent child rights and humanitarian organisation committed
to children living a life free of poverty, violence and injustice. We
actively unite children, communities and other people who share our
mission to make positive lasting changes in children’s and young
people’s lives. We support children to gain the skills, knowledge and
confidence they need to claim their rights to a fulfilling life, today
and in the future. We place a specific focus on girls and women, who are
most often left behind. We have been building powerful partnerships for
children for more than 75 years, and are now active in more than 70
countries.
