Job Description
The Organisation
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. 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 support children’s rights from birth
until they reach adulthood. And we 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.
We have been building powerful partnerships for children for over 80 years, and are now active in more than 70 countries.
