L' Organisation
Plan International est une organisation humanitaire et de dรฉveloppement indรฉpendante (organisme caritatif/ร but non lucratif/de bienfaisance - sรฉlectionnez le terme appropriรฉ pour votre public clรฉ) qui fait la promotion des droits des enfants et de lโรฉgalitรฉ des filles.

En collaborant avec les enfants, les jeunes, nos dรฉfenseurs et nos partenaires, nous essayons dโobtenir un monde juste, en abordant les causes des obstacles que les filles et tous les enfants vulnรฉrables doivent surmonter.
Nous soutenons les droits des enfants de la naissance ร lโรขge adulte. Et nous permettons aux enfants de se prรฉparer et de rรฉagir aux crises et ร lโadversitรฉ. Grรขce ร notre portรฉe, notre expรฉrience et nos connaissances, nous favorisons les changements dans la pratique et la politique au niveau local, national et global.
Depuis plus de 85 ans, nous bรขtissons de puissants partenariats pour les enfants et nous sommes actifs dans plus de 75 pays.
