Plan UK is a child-centred community development organisation. With no religious or political affiliations, we work in 49 countries on projects and initiatives that address the causes of poverty and its consequences for children's lives. We work with children, their families and communities to build a world where children are safe, healthy and capable of realising their full potential.

About sponsorship:
Your sponsorship not only helps to implement projects such as building schools, training teachers and providing water so that children like Maria have a better education, but it also provides them with the tools and knowledge to help make improvements to their lives and achieve long-term, generational change.
In the world's poorest countries, millions of children live in desperate need of the very things we often take for granted - food, medicine, education and safe drinking water. Without these basics, they are often denied the chance they need to ever realise their full potential.
In some of the countries where Plan works, 1 in 5 children die before they even reach their fifth birthday. Those who survive often go hungry and have no chance of ever learning to read and write.
Sponsor a child with Plan for £12 per month and you can help change this.
