Plan International est une organisation humanitaire et de développement indépendante qui fait progresser les droits des enfants et l’égalité des filles.
Nous croyons au pouvoir et au potentiel de chaque enfant. Mais ce potentiel est souvent étouffé par la pauvreté, la violence, l’exclusion et la discrimination. Et ce sont les filles qui sont les plus touchées.
En collaboration avec les enfants, les jeunes, nos supporters et nos partenaires, nous nous efforçons de créer un monde juste, en nous attaquant aux causes profondes des problèmes auxquels sont confrontés les filles et tous les enfants vulnérables.
Nous soutenons les droits des enfants de la naissance à l’âge adulte. Et nous permettons aux enfants de se préparer et de réagir aux crises et à l’adversité. Nous faisons évoluer les pratiques et les politiques aux niveaux local, national et mondial en utilisant notre portée, notre expérience et nos connaissances.
Nous construisons des partenariats puissants pour les enfants depuis plus de 80 ans, et nous sommes maintenant actifs dans plus de 70 pays.
