The Organisation
Plan International is an independent development and humanitarian organisation that advances childrenโs 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 itโs 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 childrenโs rights from birth until they reach adulthood. And we enable children to prepare for โ and respond to โ 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 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.

Given the current humanitarian crisis in the North West and Southwest Regions of Cameroon, Plan International is engaged in providing life-saving humanitarian assistance through operations implemented in key sectors of Child Protection, Education, WASH, NFIs, Livelihood & Food Assistance, in coordination/synergy with other humanitarian actors and stakeholders.
