About Plan

Plan is a global movement for change, mobilizing millions of people around the world to support social justice for children in developing countries.

Founded in 1937 as Foster Parents Plan, we are one of the world’s largest international development agencies, working in partnership with millions of people around the world to end global poverty. Not for profit, independent and inclusive of all faiths and cultures, we have only one agenda: to improve the lives of children.

Through programs in 66 countries, we give children, families and communities the tools they need to break the cycle of poverty and improve their lives in a sustainable way.

Each year, our work impacts more than 3.5 million families and their children in over 25,000 communities. Join us and plan to change the world.

What’s the idea? 

The best results happen when people living in poverty use their own ideas, talents and energy to make lives better for themselves and their communities. Plan supports children and youth to get involved and help make their communities a better, safer place for them, their friends and families.  This website is your place to support these girls to help themselves and their communities. You can make the difference.
