Who are we?

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 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 85 years, and are now active in more than 80 countries.

Plan International, at its core, commits to Safeguarding Children and Programme Participants. That means we uphold our obligations to ensuring no children or programme participants are harmed or put in danger of any kind of abuse, due to their affiliation, interactions, or involvement with the organisation, its members, or in any of our operations, initiatives, or activities.

What is it really like?

An average day in the Giving team is quite varied – no day will be quite the same, but throughout your time, we will see you performing these duties:

• Managing campaign administration and keeping project management tools up to date.
